Everyone seemed to like the baby with the forks picture. Cant really top that, but here are some other lovely photos I hope you will enjoy. And yes, as some of you know, I do drink alcohol. So do the Japanese. Don't say I didn't warn you. PS -- sorry the squid movie is sideways. tip your computer screen. Try and watch it with the sound on if you can, its much funnier.

Molto di corsa, vi mando le foto del mercato delle pulci. Ci avevano detto di essere lì alle 6-7 am se volevamo trovare le cose migliori, ma figuriamoci... siamo arrivati alle 11 e non c'era un granché. Interessante comunque perché, ovviamente, vendono oggetti decisamente diversi dai nostri. Ho comprato varie cose, la JAL sarà contenta. Spero che, dopo avermi lasciata senza valigia per 6 giorni, non faranno troppe storie se avrò un sovrappeso al ritorno. :) Vedrete poi anche nuove foto di abbigliamenti strampalati o comunque interessanti, visto che la prima serie ha avuto un notevole successo di critica e di pubblico. Enjoy!... read more

Ho trascurato il blog, sob. Ma sono sempre stanca. Eppure credevo che questa sarebbe stata una specie di vacanza... visto che di solito, d'estate, lavoro 16-20 ore al giorno 7 giorni su 7, pensavo che queste banalissime 40 ore settimanali sarebbero state di tutto riposo e che sarei tornata fresca come una rosa. Non pensavo al fatto che, oltre alle 8 ore giornaliere (che in realtà si sarebbero ridotte a 7,30, ma poi perdiamo sempre tempo in questo e in quello, 2 chiacchiere, i saluti, aspettarci l'un l'altro perché ovviamente non finiamo mai contemporaneamente), c'è l'ora di pausa pranzo, l'ora e mezzo o quasi di tragitti per/dall'ufficio, tutto il tempo necessario a rendersi presentabile per il lavoro (com'è bello essere freelance translators, lavorare a casa e potersi mettere al lavoro anche in mutande e con i ... read more

The title of our blog is a phrase that we saw on a girl's purse on the subway. It was a pretty large green plaid bag, and the writing was completely covering one side of it in yellow. I guess it makes sense, but why you would want that on your purse, and what exactly she's looking for I'm not sure...haha. Our flights were rather uneventful. In a weird coincidence the same group that we shared a table with at Japanese Village was on our flight to Los Angeles. The woman had a wedding dress with her, so they must have been flying somewhere to get married. Funny how things work like that. We ate Burger King in the LA Airport and then caught a bus and transferred to the International Terminal where we witnessed a ... read more

Howdy everyone, This day was quite an adventure, as you will soon see...as we fit a whole lot of events into this one, single day! On this day we got an early start so that we could head out to the infamous Nokogiri-Yama. Nokogiri-Yama is an area atop a mountain located in Japan's countryside, a couple hours away from central Tokyo. Unfortunately we were a little pressed for time here, since we had already made reservations to go to a drag show later that evening with some friends, but luckily we still got to see everything that we had wanted to see there! After riding the train for what seemed like half the day, we finally reached the stop that we needed to go to Nokogiri-Yama. Once getting off the train, we had to walk for ... read more
