		<title>World of the kooopas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is Keiji&#8217;s interpretation of Mario&#8217;s World.  You know Mario, right?  Every boy in elementary school here (and some  kindergardeners) has a Nintendo DS.  We happened to have one which wasn&#8217;t being used. It was a Christmas gift Yuki  had gotten at his previous job. We decided to let K use it on the 13-hour [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Trick Art Museum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Keiji happened to see a television program that featured some of the interesting museums in the Tokyo area. After seeing some footage on the Trick Art Museum he said &#8220;I wanna go there!&#8221;  So we headed over to the Mount Takao area, but there are actually a few different ones around. The 2 story building facade [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zoorasia in Yokohama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We went to a nice zoo, called Zoorasia in Yokohama. Surrounded by sprawling park grounds, a family with young ones can easily spend an pleasant day there. There are a few main attractions such as the elephants, the tigers and the  unusual okapi. The end of the trail leads into a fun playground, too!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While she was coloring her Hello Kitty coloring book and I folding laundry&#8230;. A:  Mommy, why doesn&#8217;t Kitty-chan have any lips? Me: Well, sometimes we can&#8217;t see cants lips because their faces are furry. A: Ohhhh,  Kitty-chan is a cat?? Me: Yes she is. A:  I thought she was a doggy.]]></description>

		<title>Enoshima Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enoshima 江の島　is a tiny island that is part of Fujisawa City in Kanagawa.  From Tokyo it&#8217;s around a 2 hour drive.  We had a nice little day trip there with the kids.  They managed to climb up all the steps that lead to a small cave on the further end of the island.  For a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kids Fun at Bornelund</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been raining non-stop the past two days and there is only so much the kids and I can take staying indoors for this long. We headed over to this place called Kid-o-Kid, also known as Bornelund. They have a few locations all over Tokyo. It&#8217;s a really fun place for the kids to let [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Household Cleaning Companion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is like the all-purpose item that can practically clean everything in a home!  I had trouble looking for baking soda when I first arrived in Japan. I finally found some Arm &#38; Hammer baking soda at shops that sell some items from abroad, like Kaldi Farm. One box usually costs around 500 yen. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tokyo Disney Sea Resort</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We woke up Tuesday morning and decided it would be a nice day to finally check out Tokyo Disney Sea Resort. We haven&#8217;t been there before since we heard that it&#8217;s more fun for adults than younger kids. But since grandma is in town, the kids are older now and we can actually travel stroller-free [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cherry Blossoms in Twilight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The cherry blossoms add a happy hue to the concrete grey backdrop of Tokyo&#8217;s buildings. I miss seeing the rust colored brick walls found on most New York buildings, even when they are crumbling or splattered with graffiti. The short time cherry blossoms are in bloom make it all the more special. This year the weather [...]]]></description>

		<title>Visiting Kitty-chan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the States we know her as Hello Kitty, but here in Japan she is Kitty-chan and she can be found at Sanrio Puroland (pronounced pyuroland, but I&#8217;m not sure what this means).  It&#8217;s an indoor little &#8220;theme park&#8221;  but there is really only one ride, which is similar to Disneyland&#8217;s Its a Small World. Puroland [...]]]></description>
