Trip to Tokyo
Last week my mom and sister arrived to Japan. A long trip of 12 hours, fortunately with no problems, besides the fact that all flight attendants were Japanese and neither one of the two can speak Japanese or them speak Italian!!! Somehow they managed to eat and drink and also sleep so I guess I can say: no problems!!
After a few days to adjust to the new environment and the initial culture shock, it seems that they are doing fine.
Yesterday we went to Tokyo for lunch and sightseeing, and after doubts of what would be best for them we opted for Teppanyaki. After all, it's simply some grilled fish and meat with some vegetables. We all enjoyed the wonderful lunch and Chris was also a good, good baby. Besides dropping and throwing his little car in the restaurant and yelling, buh buh buh buh to all the waiters, he behaved great. A little tour of Tokyo Tower and shopping in Nihonbashi was enough. At the end Chris was so excited but also so tired that he slept almost all the way back home.
We live in Hitachi, a nice town on the east coast of Japan. We like to think our family is a little special, an Italian/Japanese baby is not so common around here. Some people would call Chris a half, but to us he is a whole, total, one wonderful baby that has filled our life with joy and laughter every and each single day.
