As friends and relatives know, one of my hobbies is assembling and repairing computers. Thus, ever since he was born, Theo has been exposed to various computer parts scattered around the apartment. This one's a broken motherboard that I bought from a junk shop for 200 yen (roughly US$2); the Pentium III processor that I attached to it is also nonfunctional. Hence, it was okay for Theo to touch and play around with this board. I intend to keep it for demo purposes in the future -- actually, to demonstrate some things to him when he's at the right age.
There was a festival (matsuri) in our neighborhood over the weekend, and this float carrying a number of women playing traditional Japanese drums caught much of Theo's attention. So much so that...
...he wanted to join other kids in pulling the float for quite some distance along the main road. This experience will surely form part of his memories in Japan.
He also watched these ladies performing a traditional Japanese street dance.
This afternoon, we went to Costco in Kaihin Makuhari together with Dr. Parida Yamada,a former labmate of mine at the University of Tsukuba, and her daughter, Emina. Theo and Emina bonded quickly and enjoyed some shopping together as well as...
...some soft Hokkaido ice cream!
This photo was taken last Sunday when we passed by Ueno Park for a brief afternoon stroll. As always, Theo likes to play in the water...or what's left of it.
