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?

Caught the tarako bug

Tarako is cod roe. In Japan, it's used in all kinds of dishes including spaghetti sauce. Recently the Kewpie company started commercializing its tarako sauce in a series of bizzare commercials that have seeped into the Japanese mainstream, almost reaching macarena proportions. Click on this for more details and a sample of the commercials.

M is the latest tarako convert.

Hey Yvonne, your girl can dance really well!! This Tarako song is very popular among children, i heard our neighbor's boy singing too, Y likes the song too but we change the Tarako to えのき、しめじ、なめこetc because she loves kinoko. ha ha ^^
