Yay, Naoko and Zen came back from Japan! They had a lovely time there and did lots of stuff. Zen went to the local primary school that his cousins go to and had a great time – he likes his Japanese primary school better than his Singapore primary school it seems (although he likes the Singapore primary school plenty enough). Naoko got to hang out with her family and friends. They took an overnight trip to the Sea of Japan to stay in a hot spring and eat crab. My brother and his family also visited them in Himeji in the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Sounds like everyone had a blast. Here are some pictures and videos of the event.
