We stayed in Japan for 5 weeks this summer and had many exciting events. Isaac enrolled in Tsukushino Elementary School as a 3rd grader and Luke enrolled in Tsukuchino Tenshi Preschool. Isaac was comfortable going to the school because this was his 3ed years and he already had friends. On the other hand, Luke hardly ever knew Japanese, but completed the semester without major troubles. Mommy, MH, had health issues and had a couple of trips to local doctor. Isaac and Luke enrolled in a local Judo Dojo, Machida Judo Club, and participated in their training 2 to 3 times a week.
We met Isaac's Classmate, who is also flying out from SFO to her Mom's home country, Laos.
We are in Tokyo, Haneda Airport. Luke is leading the way.
