Japan (Tokyo and Fukuoka)

 

Ok, this one is to prove that cats across time, have felt the need to show their bums to humans.

These photos are backwards, I definitely ate rolled ice cream after sushi rolls.

Shinjuku park in the middle of Tokyo

Hachiko the loyal dog.

I don't normally take food photos, but every single meal of my two weeks in Japan was amazing.

Shibuya Shuffle the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world.

Re-establishing Home

 A few repairs were needed before we could move in.

I learned that a water filter was needed for the shower, in addition to the waterheater.

For the first few weeks we camped out, while waiting for our furniture to arrive.  Even Dalia had to rough it as she waited for her giant litter box.

The packers generously emptied every box before leaving, so there was no living with boxes... and for a while there was no open surface area either.

The new home craft room/office has the best view.

Learning to cohabitate the street with the 30 cat neighbors.

Personal touches were added.

Sunsets were enjoyed from the top floor.

Dalia enjoys watching all the neighbor kids play in the street.

ahhh.... more sunsets.

The new place was thoroughly inspected.

Moths came to visit.

A bird moved in next to the A/C.

Dalia was shocked at the ladder. Unfortunately the ladder did not reach and they ended up removing the bird nest and trying to patch the water leak from the window.
