Downtown East Day

Waiting for bus

Today I brought the kids to see Kungfu Panda at Downtown East and i conclude that its not easy. Not only did i have to constantly answer why type questions, there is a trying to get them to sit down part and the bringing both to toilet during the best fight scene when the 5 of them fought with the bad fella.

After the show, it was off to get snacks and a bus ride back home. It was nice to also return to a home cooked lunch by mommy who stayed home that morning.

Picture with Care Bears

In the evening, we went back to Downtown East as there was a Care Bears show there. The kids loved Care Bears as someone gave Cleo a small Cheer Bear some time back. Cleo’s Cheer Bear is like her baby, she will bring it out when ever she can.

Rides

There were rides too and they both had a ball of a time.

Care Bear Plush

We got each of them a Care Bear plush. Clié got one with hearts on it and Cleo got the bigger version of Cheer Bear.

Daddy\'s Fave Care Bear

The grumpy one sure looks cute too.

Japan 08 – Day 9

Its been many days in Japan and its time to say good bye. We packed our stuff and left the hotel early. Took a direct nankai train to the airport and we will be home in the evening.

We wanted to have Okonomiyaki in Osaka as we did not manage to try it yesterday. We are in Osaka, so Okonomiyaki is a must. Found a restaurant in the airport serving it, so we both went in and made that our lunch.

Soon enough, we were off the ground and Japan was distancing itself from us as our plane brought us to higher altitudes.

The airport started to show its unique shape as it was fully reclaimed in land scarce Japan. It was 3.5km away from the mainland and slowly its full shape could be seen clearly from the sky.

Overall, this trip to Japan was great. We totally enjoyed ourselves especially since we have not had a real holiday as a couple ever since our honeymoon. We spent our hard earned money, we spent quality time together, we spent time doing stuff we enjoyed.

Now we come home to our kids we missed, our jobs we care about and OMG the dreaded credit card bills. *gulp*, lets see what surprises is in store for us at the end of the month.
