Yes, I am still waiting for Sachan’s account of rice planting in Nagano too. Till then, here’s what happened (and what got planted) upon her return.
Going to the Hair Salon
Ever been to a Japanese hair salon? NO? Me either. Follow Sachan’s account of this outing with Grandma. Pictures provided by Pam. Obnoxious commentary and editor’s notes provided by Brian…of course.

Sachan has been begging me to the go the playground with her to watch her do flips on the bars. While I hope to get those pictures posted tomorrow, I was reminded of a tale I wrote about playgrounds in Tokyo.
Where’s Walker?
It struck me as we looked over the ballet program Saturday evening and scanned art collections at her school on Sunday, that it isn’t always as easy to pick Sachan out of a crowd. So please join in, my dear reader, in a game of Where’s Waldo…err…uh… WALKER?
Ohashi, Onigiri, Obento, … “OH NOooooo!”
Today you get an old treat: Ohashi, Onigiri and Obento. I went deep into the vault to pull out this one which was written four years ago. Bon Appetite.
