I've been living in Boston MA for 3 years but prior that move I lived in Japan for 10 years and delivered 2 sons at the Aiku Hospital in Minato-ku. Where are you going ? At the time I was there, there was an other hospital more popular among Americans but I forgot its name. And since it looks like we're heading back to Japan next summer I'll make sure to visit your blog often. You're welcome to use my pers address as well. Does Akachan-hon-po still exist ? I remember buying some cute stuff but lots of ugly maternity clothes there as well. UniQlo has been my favorite from day 1. It has a baby-kids line (or at least use to) and my 3rd boy (born in CT during a short stay) got to wear some of his brothers' stuff. Anyway. Get plenty of sleep now and be ready for this unbelievably rich adventure. A Hi there,

Clothes on the other hand- I love Japanese clothes BUT they just do not fit me. The tops don`t fit because my arms are too long, my boobs too big and my torso too long... and pants well they are usually too short and my arse is just too big for them. I figure no matter how skinny I got I would never have the body shape to fit into them anyway... There are a couple of shops however that have good shopping for foreigners- Zara, Gap, UniQlo are probably the main couple. Have fun handbag shopping!!!
