Jen returned to Canada on January 7th and preschool resumed on the 10th. This week has been devoted to settling into the routine again, and now I am back with a blogging vengeance ready to recount the travels and adventures from the New Years break (it will take more then one post).On, December 31st Jen and I set out on an epic quest to Namba, yes an epic quest. We were in search of the Body Shop, which I was sure I had seen on my previsions visit but no clue where or how to get back to it. The trip was an amusing experience; Namba is the heart of crazy Japanese fashion for the Osaka area. This time was my first real chance to window shop. I enjoyed reading the engrish t-shirts, stopping at Starbucks, and these loose-socks that are 150 cm long –crazy! There were a few purchases, the picture is of us sporting our new very japanese dresses. There was a also very competitive game of Spot-the-foreigner". Our combined total was 56, much better than my last score of 11. Proving once again this is a game for two or more people (or to earn a high score it’s best to play when the foreigners are out in droves). We eventually did find the Body Shop, yet sadly they no longer carry satsuma hand lotion. I had to settle for the lip-gloss.
Word Up: Akemashite omedetou gozimasu -Happy New Year. It's a little late but you can save it for next year.
