Dad and the Boys in Japan

Kia ora whanau..well saturday night we went to Kansai Airport where we ended up spending the night waiting for the arrival of Dad and the boys(Paul and John) and what a mish..well we thought that the airport was 24 hours running but this airport stops flights at 10pm..so me and paora were the only people in the airport although abit unsettling but sweet as, so we crashed at the airport as Dads flight was 6:20am.. It was so cool seeing dad and the boys and to actually have them here in japan is such a buzz ..we arrived home and chilled out most of the day and rested .
Later in the evening we went to have some Japanese food ..Katsu -don, this was abit of a eyeopener for Dad and the boys but they liked the food. Got home and crashed what a long day...

DAY 2.. today we watched paora play rugby in otsu so the whole whanau trooped over to see some rugby and look at the area of shiga,ended up being a long day but Paul and Johnny ended up making a Japanese friend which was cool and it seems that with kids language is no barrier..went home and chilled.

DAY 3 today we went to paoras school to check out his school and also Dad brought his chisels so showed paoras art teacher some maori carving..this was a cool day with the boys being like little superstars as paoras students crowded around them and shouting "Kawaii" " Kawaii" or " Cute"
" Cute"...
after this we went up to Hachiman Temple up on Hachiman Mountian..Dad could not get over the Japanese Carvings at the temples and shrines and was amazed by the quality of work..

DAY 4 -chill out day as we had to go to work...

well thats it so far will update later on...we've checked most of omihachiman still heaps to see and do..with Hikone,kyoto,Osaka and Nara still to see..so laters for now..
