It is 1:30AM here, but a quick note to bring you up to speed.
Well it seems everyone is getting closer to normal towards the end of the week. Still some little (maybe not so little ;) "explosions from below" from Hanano. We actually are going to head to Shiho's mom's house for the 3 day weekend, so things are close to normal.
Today we went to Costco in Fukuoka and got some stuff for a Thanksgiving party we are going to have with some friends next weekend. The turkey we just bought weighs in at about 6 Kilos, and cost 47yen/100grams. So a turkey in Japan is a bit expensive, I guess given the exchange rate we are looking at about $34 for a 13lb bird. Well it is our only turkey in Japan, and what else would we have for Thanksgiving dinner???
It took some time to make sure we got a bird that we thought would fit in our little freezer, not to mention, one that would also fit in the tiny oven on the counter. But once we got home, we confirmed that we got the right one. We did the measurement before we left to Costco, and luckily, we had them right on. Will have to take pics of our tiny oven, fitting that 13lb bird like a glove. lol
BREAK OUT THE COATS!
It is getting really cold here. We have the kototsu and kerosene heater going all day long this week. While watching TV, it is hard to find the kids, since they are staying warm under the kototsu futon. Will have to take some picks of this I guess. At night we sleep in a room together, but there is no heat in there, so it is a bit cold. We each (the 4 of us) have 2 blankets, and it is quite warm. Hanano moves from Shiho to me throughout the night, depending on her mood and how warm she wants to be at any moment. It actually snowed here Wednesday, and should snow this weekend in Shimane-ken. It is a good time to go to the hot spring anyways.
That is it for now, hope you are all doing well.
Stay warm,
Steve, Shiho and the kiddies
