Welcome to our world!

My chinese name is Yin Ling and baby Minori's unofficial middle name is Yen. Both Yin and Yen mean swallow (as in the bird) in chinese. The same swallows that migrate to Malaysia in winter to escape the cold return to Japan when the weather begins to warm up. Like the swallows here, together with daddy, we make our trips between the two countries. Isn't it nice to have two places we can call home?

The durian test

Minori's dad grins widely as he comes back into the car after grocery shopping, "do you smell something?"

Thai durians are in season right now in Japan. They are pricey and aren't as good as those that we are used to in Malaysia but it's good enough for Minori's dad, who missed having durians on his last trip back to KL.

Minori's first durian experience... and not liking it very much... yet.

I'm sure Minori will absolutely love the durian the next time she tries it. All the 3 - you, Steve and James - reacted with caution and hesitance the first time you tried it but soon grew to love it like any other Malaysian.
