Hey, I'm in Japan now :)
I met Mr. momoji, this great man :D :D :D :D
I think we're so close species...
Anyway he is very kind and we became friends.
I'm so excited that I can't sleep tonight.

Ikuta Shrine in Sannomiya
People wash their hands before they enter into the shrine. I tried like them.
Most Japanese are both Shintoists and Buddhists. Shintoism is the native religion of Japan. It has no Bible. It is originated from primitive ancestor and nature worship.

Chinatown in Nankinmachi
There are three big Chinese towns in Japan. One is here in Kobe. Always it is crowded with many tourists.

Hi there,
This is Ritsurin Garden, a typical Japanese garden.
It is located in the center of the city, among the modern buildings. Stepping inside it is like slipping into another world and another time.
For 228 years long since 1642, the Matsudaira family, the Lord of Takamatsu owned and maintained the garden. Today the garden is open to public.
What a wonderful world!
;)

Today we went to Sydney to visit Jen's new nephew. Her sister and new baby were discharged from hospital too quickly to visit in the hospital, so we saw him at home.

Some other TVs came along for the ride and here is us with some of the celebration goodies and baby things. We played with Jen's niece too, but she wanted to keep us, so we didn't have our photo taken with her or the new baby in case she stole us.

The new baby is sooo cute :)
