No Turkey For Thanksgiving

After a couple more unsuccessful house-hunting trips out in Seattle, we're finally in Tokyo for Thanksgiving. How relaxing with no houses to see or specific things to do... just hang out, eat good food - sashimi for Thanksgiving is SO much more tasty then turkey which isn't my favorite, and absolutely nothing important to do :)

It's labor day here today coincidentally. They just called it labor-thanksgiving day on tv - I overheard this on tv on the English version of the daily sumo digest lol!

After a horrendous almost 13 hours flight with a crying toddler (omg I was on the verge of killing it and it's gramma and mom who were seated apart in business and coach and walked by me and knocking some part of my overgrown body every time I was about to doze off). This is the first time I have not slept on a long flight like this. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper when the bunch of excited and loud middle aged Cantonese-speaking aunties in the train insisted in letting the whole train hear their debate on who should pay for dinner then what camera to get and almost missing their stop - fortunately by then I decided to be kinder (step out of the killing mode) and let them know it was their stop lol.

A nice shower and a good meal with our friend Julia at Sushi Cho later, I plunked into bed and caught up with my much needed rest waking up at 3am craving for ramen lol! Good thing I knew the king was extremely tired as well - he was less irritated with the kid since he was engrossed with his Simpsons game on the DS. The man is absolutely in-the-zone when he's playing... never mind anything else that's going on around him...

Well, I have to go back to enjoying this trip. Tune in for updates... maybe :)
