Hi Everybody, Our Grand parents live in Saitama which is about 40km north of Tokyo. There are Rice fields near their house and they are so green… There is also some rice growing in a container in the garden of Gigi’s House too. I can see lots of small tadpoles in the rice field. I want to catch some tad poles to swim in the rice that is growing at home too, but they mover very fast and we could not catch them… don’t worry, we will keep trying…

More news soon from Mitchell & Emily in Japan

Hi Everybody, Mitchell here, Emily and I thought we would show everyone on the map exactly where we are… we are waaaaaaay up kind of up on the top part of the world. If you go to Adelaide and then go 8,155 km north you will reach Japan… Here is a picture on the world map so you know where we are…(remember, click on the photo to get a bigger view)

More news soon.
Bye for now, from Mitchell & Emily in Japan…

Hi Everybody, Mitchell & Emily here again…

Because there is no internet connection at my Gigi & Baaba’s place, we go to the local library here in Sugito to use their Free Internet Connection. The libraries in Japan look just like the ones in Melbourne, lots of books and you still have to be very very quiet.

Here is a picture of me on the laptop talking on the Webcam to my Dad on Skype…

Japan is almost on the same time as Melbourne, but Japan is 1 hour behind. So if it is 3:00pm in Melbourne, it means it is only 2:00pm in Tokyo. It is nice and sunny weather here as it is almost Summer. We are about 8,155 km from Melbourne. We miss you all, but look forward to seeing you all again soon…

P.S – Emily stayed at home playing with Grandma on this trip to the Library, so she missed out on being in the photo. But she will come on the next trip to the library…

More photos soon…

From Mitchell and Emily

On 3rd June, GiGi (our Grand Dad) Baaba (our Grand Mother) and Mum and Emily and Me, all went went to Funabashi Sanbanze Coastal Park in Chiba. We searched for clams on the beach.

We were all digging in the sand for the clams. Emily and Me found some, but GiGi got most of them… maybe he knew where to dig.

After we got home, Baaba soaked the clams in salty water overnight and then she put them into
the miso soup that we had the next morning which was VERY nice…

It was great fun to go to the beach with my Grandparents and I hope we can all go again one day…

Bye for now – Oh and remember – If you want to see a larger photo, you can click on any of our photos to enlarge them too!

More adventures soon.
From Mitchell & Emily

Hi Everybody,

Mitchell here,  Well, we arrived safely in Japan on 1st June after a long day on the plane…

The first thing I did when I got to my Grandparents place was to have a shower because the plane was rolling around like a roller coaster for about 10 minutes and I felt Sick… Emily was fine though. Here is a photo of her the next night, talking to our Dad on the phone before she went to bed…

It is great to have arrived and Emily and I (with some help from Mum and Dad) look forward to sharing our big Japan trip adventure with you all…

Bye for Now…

Mitchell & Emily

We are getting excited and are looking forward to our big flight to Japan…
We will have to have an early night tomorrow night… because we have to be at the airport at 5 o’clock in the morning on Tuesday !

I’m going to Japan on the 1st of June until the 15th of July.
I’m going to Japan in a JetStar plane with my sister Emily and my Mum. We will be doing lots of fun things and we will make sure that we put lots of photos on the blog for everyone to see…

We look forward to seeing you all again when we get back… Don’t forget to leave us a comment on any of our blog posts… we would love to hear all about what is hapenning back home.

See you soon – Mitch & Emily.

Today was very cool because my friend Kyle came over to my house after school to play with me. He stayed for a couple of hours and we played on the Wii and we played with the rats and the chicken and then we found a CAT in the garden… We don;t know who it belonged to, but we gave it a drink of water and some Tuna to eat… It looked VERY hungry. It was a great day and I look forward to Kyle coming over to my house again one day.

More news soon…
