Ah so desu ka! So, my 5 year old granddaughter is learning to become a Samurai....... [View all]

My daughter and her S.O. decided to do something "different" for their fall (state of Hessia) school break. They went to Japan. They took his three boys from his first marriage and their two girls (our granddaughters). From the looks of things, they seem to be getting into their setting. At five years old, she's already someone you don't want to mess with. If she is now getting into Japanese culture after ten days in Japan (wouldn't surprise me, knowing her), she has certainly learned to dress the part.

It's funny, I don't remember just taking off and running over to Japan during my fall breaks from school. Crossed the 14th Street bridge a few times, but somehow, it doesn't quite pack the same impact.
