I visited Osaka for a few days and stayed at my stepmom’s friend, Naomi’s house. They have two kids, Kizuna, 4, and So, 2 years old.
They are really good kids, although really noisy! It had been 3 years since I saw Naomi last.

Not really much to say about this trip. Went to Tokyo, saw the imperial gardens (which are huge) and took the subway to Aoyama, walked to Roppongi.

I’ve been to Akihabara, Ueno Park, Tokyo National Museum, Tokyo Station, Wadakura fountain park, Shinjuku, Chiba-Minato, and Chiba Castle.

Honestly, I don’t think I could have found better hosts to stay with in Japan than the Takatas! They are very nice and helpful to me. I love having discussions with Mr. Takata. I’ve learned a lot from him so far; he is a very smart and interesting person to talk to.

Here is my room. It’s small but really nice. You can’t see it, but across the room from the dresser is a closet where the futon I sleep on at night is stored.
