Philadelphia: City of Brotherly Love

While I am doing catch up with my updates of Japan, we are kinda making Philly our home. We have been here for 18 days to date and it has been an eye opener. Kids are excited that they have finally arrived in America [the country that they hear so much about] and we are observing and learning as we go along. 

So far, we have explored Philadelphia's Historical Monuments, celebrated my Mommy's birthday at Penn's landing, spent a day at the kids' absolute fave spot - Please Touch Museum, headed to New York City, seen Central Park,visited the World Trade Centre, plucked apples and gobbled up remnant raspberries from bushes from Linvilla Orchards....not to forget, learning to read, write and do their Math and swimming a lot in the hotel's indoor pool:)

I think I will never be able to catch up with my updates....oh well...

Exploring Takashimaya Time Square

Exploring Tokyo is such an easy and safe endeavor. The streets are safe almost anytime of the day and the city lights are bright. With two toddlers in tow, it was still easy. It was one of those mornings out where we spent the entire day playing at Tokyu Hands and reading at Kinokunya [Foreign Book section]. Out of inspiration, I bought two books only to learn that they would have cost me much less through amazon. Oh well - inspiration is priceless:)
