On Thursday there were reports of snow falling in Tokyo for the first time in 54 years. Everyone was so surprised! It is very common in my hometown to have snow in early October! Hearing about the snow made me really miss my hometown. My favourite thing to do on snowy nights is to curl up on the couch with a blanket, hot chocolate, and a book! It's such a relaxing way to spend a snowy day!


  

One of the things we did on our vacation was go to USJ! It was our first time. We've been to Universal in Orlando, Florida before, a few times. We only went on one attraction, Jaws, because we were mostly interested in shopping and seeing the difference between the one in Japan and the one in America. While we were there I saw a few people with a dinosaur hat and my goal was to find it and buy it. As you can see from the picture I bought it! It's so cute, I wore it all day.
  

When i was a young child in Canada, I never understood why adults didn't know what was considered cool by kids. I just thought they were out of touch and not hip. My parents were pretty good on knowing what was popular with kids (when I was young). It would now seem, that I, have fallen to this and have no idea what is cool with kids or what shows kids watch or the music they listen to, let alone Japanese children.

I know that Pokemon is still a thing - it was a huge thing for me when i was a children - so i'm pretty happy it is still a thing for children. I however can't say the same thing about "Yokai Watch" or other related shows. So I guess I'm just a out-of-the-loop-adult. I'll try to research what kids like so I can seem less "out of touch".

See you next week.
