Today I want to say "thankyou"to my Japanese mother.Every time I go to my Japanese parent's house I receive fantastic hospitality.And my mum's is "second to none"!! We also went to a friend's clinic in Hamakita that specializes in skin treatment.My wife received "first-rate"care.Meanwhile I got to see some small "people"that reminded me of England-traditional garden gnomes(part of the clinic's display)!
