Had a nice day today took SoM to ANOTHER 100¥ store…she is amazed at just what they sell.
Had lunch with G and SoM…went to G’s fav Indian…I can tell you NOT my fav.
Had my 1st seasonal Starbucks….White chocolate Mocha with cranberry….don’t think I will be having another.
Went into a store I would not normally go in…bought one or two thing…for J.
Then….Went to the Disney store and bought my first Christmas decorations of 2011….Don’t think I actually bought any last year. I love them…REALLY I do!!!!
I would love to do a Christmas ornament exchange one year. I have friends all over this small world….and I would love to a small tree with decorations from all the places I have been and from friends around the world…There would be NO theme…NO colour pattern…NOTHING just hopefully a array of colour. I would call it my global Christmas tree.
I also put some pictures up of SoM visit. She is normally the small dot with something big like a HUGH ferris wheel in the background…..I took one of her at Tokyo tower….I sat on the floor and pointed the phone upwards…Big tower…little SoM….REALLY!!!
I wanted to drop something off to somebody’s house today; I had full instructions on how to get there…
Easy right….WRONG….we live in a rabbit warren!!! REALLY we do…
So I asked a lady if she spoke English and if she knew where this number was…She spoke English but no idea where to find the house…Ok…nice lady.
I then asked another person if the spoke English…In perfect English he said Only a little….His English was better than mine…REALLY….He said my daughter is better….The daughters English was Super perfect (super perfect…yes I know but it REALLY was)
She knew where to go…took me there…She spoke like she had had elocution lessons….No idea where she learnt her English…but I wanna go there!
My Expat view of my daily/family life With a bit of whining and moaning thrown in for good measure!

November 2, 2011
So…SoM arrived…poor love has hardly slept since she has been here. I don’t think the poor will be on anytime zone when she arrives back home…I think her body clock will be that messed up.
She said that she has never had jetlag….where she has gone has either been a couple of hours difference…back in time…or even when forward in time the cities are so busy that when you are awake at silly-o’clock you can go out and explore, eat and shop. So this has been a really shock to the body…Oh do I feel guilty.
So this week I had to be in Tokyo early in the morning, she drove up there with me…We were stuck in traffic….(not good when you have had NO SLEEP) I parked at Tokyo tower. Went to my appointment, took her picture outside the tower (while I sat on the floor to take her picture) One tourist thingy done…
One thing everyone who visits seem to like is the 100¥ store…actually 105¥ but we won’t go there.
SoM was no exception.
She has been taken for a curry…and she gets to go for another one tomorrow…lucky girl…poor girl made the mistake of saying she likes spicy food once…G took this to mean…Yaaaay somebody who eats normal food with flavor not gravy…Yes G has taken to calling my choice of curry, gravy…Gravy my insides can handle!!!!
Yeti Moo and I have been playing silly-billy games…seeing how face we can take the smart phone technology…so we have faced timed, used the voice software (we sounded like kids…lol)
Basketball is back for the ladies….Also netball….both should be interesting as I am signed up for both….
