Sarah and left for Japan on the 8th of this month. It has been wonderful to come back to Japan and bask in the wonderful sights, tastes, and smells of the culture. It has also been wonderful to see my family again. One member that I have not met yet is Kiwi, the newest (and arguably the most popular) member of the family.
As Sarah and I have been recovering from jetlag, we've been getting up quite early. Our first morning in Japan we woke up at 3am. This morning (sunday) we woke up at 5:30am and decided to go for a walk. It was a beautiful morning - perfect temperature, calm, and peaceful, and a great time to hang out with Sarah and to enjoy a quiet morning in Tokyo.
Whenever a property is bought, before the building is constructed, a shrine is erected on the property and a Shinto priest will perform a ceremony to cleanse the property of demons and bad luck.

Hot milk tea from a vending machine.
A garage very unique to and tailored to the confined space of a Tokyo neighborhood.
