Daily life inTokyo

We've had a whirlwind first few days! Thursday was a regular school day for Kent and Julian. After they were walked to school. Alan and Yuka and I, with Griffin and Seraphina, stopped by a Starbucks (which are all over), and I had an Earl Gray latte... Yum! On Friday, which was a Japanese holiday, the boys did not have regular school, but the British School in Tokyo held a special day for parents (and grandparents) to come have each student meet with their teacher and parents to show what they have been studying.
In the afternoon, we took a train to another section of town and went to a toy store, where the younger boys picked out some new toys. 

Large living/dining room.. doubles as a gym!

Lots of flavored snacks! Their "Family Store"/ convenience stores also have some amazing salads & sandwiches!

These are the "Ultraman" figures which Griffin loves...and they make dozens of them (which mostly look alike to me, but he knows the difference!

Kent and his teacher, letting us know about some of the things he has learned this past term.

The boys playing a hand-held game.

This their building. They have a large apartment on the ground floor.

Garden near their apartment.

Some cherry trees are starting to bloom, but it's still sort of cold and rained today.

I lagged behind them so I could take a photo. Quite a crew walking through the city!

One of the many high-rise buildings.

Dior building. Hermes is next door (classy neighborhood!)

Edible flowers in the supermarket

They have SO many varieties of vegetables!

Mushrooms

Entrance to the British School

This book belonged to my boys!

Entrance to Suntory Hall (Tokyo's equivalent of Carnegie Hall). It's next door to (and sort of underneath) their apartment.

My Earl Gray latte.
