Columbus day and Sports day


October 12th was a public holiday because of the Columbus day for the US and Sports day for Japan. So Rob decided to go and surf in somewhere north, about 160km away if I remembered correctly.

Before Rob left, the rest of us decided (I decided) to go out for a walk so Zey didn’t have to see Rob’s leaving. We first walked to a playground that is a few blocks away and Zey did some climbing, jumping while my mom kept telling him not to do this and that. Then we walked through a tunnel (Zey loves tunnel) and walked through a neighborhood I had explored earlier with Khin. With a nice cool weather, it was a great stroll around here. I thought of Colleen and Stephen especially. What always impressed me is the Japanese’s love for plants. Even in a tiny little space, they have several plants mostly in pots. There are some big houses with big gardens as well. They love pruning plants too. I will find another time to show a picture of neatly pruned bushes.

Khin fell asleep during the walk and stayed asleep when we got home. So Zey and I stayed out of the house, and he played with the hose while I cut branches of a pine branch I got from my prior walk. I made a wreath with it and it lasted about two weeks while I had to sweep the pine needles every day. I don't recommend doing it at home. It's nice but not worth it. Photos from that day are here. http://ayeayemaw.shutterfly.com/1846
