I can't believe that we've been here in Japan for almost a month. Sometimes, when I'm walking towards the supermarket, or I'm looking out the window, it's hard to believe that I'm with Ruther, that we were given another opportunity to come here and that I'm in another country. It just all seems like a dream. And I don't want it to end.

Yesterday, my dad called through Skype. I was surprised because I was ironing then and didn't expect his call. Anyway, there was something wrong with the computer back home because my dad couldn't hear anything from our side. So what he did was to call us by phone and watch us through Skype. It was hilarious. But at least they got to see the boys. My mom and dad really enjoyed Ethan's antics and Nikki's non-stop and senseless chatter. And I enjoyed seeing my parents looking so well. My dad said he's going to have the computer checked and we'll schedule a videochat. You just gotta love technology.

We went to Yodobashi (Yokohama) last night because Ruther wanted to check out a tripod for my camera. But what I really love about going there is checking out the 6th floor. They have these rows and rows of capsules. You know, the ones where you insert a coin or two and get a toy in return. Anyway, it's really fun to walk through aisles and aisles of vending machines and pick a toy. I only pick the cutest ones and those that cost ¥100. Anything more than that I find a bit expensive. Anyway, I started collecting this really cute cellphone accessory that looks like different kinds of cakes. The cake slices looked so yummy, Ethan even started biting the chocolate one. :D Anyway, I got a strawberry shortcake yesterday and it was so cute! Nikki loves the Mario bros stuff and Ruther pretty much collects for me. Hahaha! Anyway, we had a blast looking around and picking the ones we liked best. We also went to the toy section and got the boys a fun bath toy (will post a photo of that later). Here's a photo of a strawberry shortcake which looks exactly the same as the accessory I got (both are from the Fujiya company and I got this photo from their website):
Doesn't it look sooooo yummy? :)

Oh, man...I'll have to tell my sister about that place. She's near Yokohama, and her kids would LOVE going there.
That looks delicious!
