Honoka-chan's First Piano Recital

My longest best friend's daughter had her first piano recital today! It reminded us of our first ballet recital... Long time ago now...

Breakfast by my mom


Walked, took bus, train, subway and walk again to get to the "Dawn Center" in Osaka.



got there too early. Took coffee break



Checking out coupon book for cheap hair cut
There are something unnatural in this picture. can you tell?

She has over sized fake eye contacts and makeup!

Anyway, when I got there, they were taking a group pictures


Her brother is practicing how to present his bouquet to his sister


Second song, they played together!


Dawn Center downstairs. there were church meeting, also

They invited me to lunch picnic after the recital. We went to artificial garden on top of the mall

After the rectal, I decided to get hair cut. In the subway, I found VERY interesting man...
I took a picture of this. He noticed I took a picture... He told me " Oh, no"... then he checked his mirror and said "Now, please"

He had to be perfect for the picture...
by the way, he is wearing kids clothing...

The place I am going is where I used to hang out/shop as teenager... but it is totally different...
I don't understand today's fashion in Japan... but everything from all over the world is here
be jealous girls


girls with doll looking outfit. Girls with big hair and tiara... what happened?

you can buy everything here...


CUTE... (but expensive...)


Japanese crepes are much better than French Market!

Pachinko


1 hour wait to Krispy Kreme
They just landed to Japan this year


Kids dance contest in American Village

Japanese thinks Dance = black dancers
all the kids looked and dressed like black hip hop dancers

famous spots in Shisaibashi, Osaka



I carried about 30lb of "stuff" all they way to home... took 1 1/2 hours...
no wonder Japanese are healthy without exercising in a gym...
