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?

Home sweet home

We love our new place. There is a mini zoo and park right next to our apartment where daddy and M go every day for walks. The llama, ponies, sheep, wallabies and people who work there recognize M by now. It's like having our own farm, only better because we don't have to feed and clean the animals!


Right in the same place, there is also a building that features a little indoor animal reserve for guinea pigs, hamsters, beetles, etc., a roller blading area and a toddler play area. Outdoors, besides the mini zoo, you can ride ponies, play in the playground, learn fundamental traffic rules by riding on these cute vehicles around a traffic rules course marked with traffic lights and zebra crossings, and or climb a massive wooden bridge (currently M's favourite part of the park because she's obsessed with climbing stairs). All of this without having to pay a yen! Isn't Japan one of the nicest places in the world to live?!
