Getting Ready for Golden Week

Left office early today with a big headache. Still I had to stop at Tokyu Store for some grocery shopping and then at West for some cookie shopping.

To summarize… I am better at cookie shopping than at grocery shopping. Chie and I had a plan for tori-udon for dinner but half of the ingredients I bought was for shabu-shabu 🙁

We still managed to come up with a plan to use all the groceries before we leave for Hawaii on Monday evening. Yes, it is the time of the year when Japan goes on vacation during the Golden Week 😎

Springier Time in Tokorozawa

No one can blame Coco for not being cute. He is the cutest… Except for me that is 😉



Coco and I spent quite some time walking the small backstreets of Tokorozawa. Stopping once in a while to watch the flowers that start to pop up everywhere.




Shutter Island

Another weekend day with Club Leo. As usual we went to a movie first then to a restaurant for dinner.

Today’s movie was Shutter Island. Quite entertaining while watching but not so memorable. The restaurant, or bistro, Uokin was quite OK. Very cheap, price wise that is.

Yasaka

Met Andreas and his Family, Stina, Emil, Simon, Ulf, and Elisabeth at Yasaka after work. We spent a few hours there eating and playing with the kids. Well, mostly Chie played with the kids… Killing them with Japanese imaginary swords. And they tried to kill her with “hand” guns, without success.

Once they kids got tired we brought the Baskin-Robbins ice cream that Chie had bought in Naka-Meguro. They happily ate and was surprisingly quiet for a while 😉 And I was a bit jealous since I had to eat grilled chicken wings, grilled bamboo shots and other grown-up dishes 😛
