    Two weeks in Tokyo

    Same here! Exactly experience and some perfectly timed photos helped. My wife and little one got a lot of attention, both blue eyes and blonde hair: Our oldest actually took his first steps in in the Imperial Palace Gardens...good memories looking at these photos and making me smile :)

    Cost of Living - Shrinkflation is speeding up at an alarming rate
