Grace-my s...Thanks everyone for the kind words....<br /><br />Grace-my sister is on Barclay and...I forget...I used to live at barclay and denman....my apartment building had a pool on the roof and a fireplace in the living room...things you can never get here...I miss that place! I should introduce to my sis...she is pretty cool-she has a store on etsy but is focusing on some craft fairs held somewhere in Vancouver.<br /><br />catwrangler-hi! Oh I love Japanese tv too...it really is amazing how much crap people have in such small places. But I LOVE seeing how the "after" looks and for the most part...Japanese don't generally hand down their homes like we do in the west...when I talked about it my friends/students were surprised we do that. But yeah...if you renovate/reform a house you might as well pass it down!FromJapanWithLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501843582871473733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859120836007416823.post-73797758402497143502009-05-26T21:05:12.788-07:002009-05-26T21:05:12.788-07:00PS: I am AnnaMLincoln who is now following you on...PS: I am AnnaMLincoln who is now following you on Twitter and have also purchased stuff from you on etsy as plumdream.

It was this old couple who lived in this small hovel and the husband had stored hundreds of VHS copies of some show he loved. They tore out the house and who knows where they hauled out all the stuff and did it all modern. But the thing is that I could only think they were doing it for the kids to inherit because I couldn't imagine them living in their old house for 70 years and suddenly loving this brand new modern house. I love Japanese TV.<br /><br />I am sorry to hear about you mom's boyfriend.

Which is my answer to those Japanese that say you should have kids to take care of you...my mom has 3 kids and the closest one is a 5 hour plane ride! Oh well...I will see her in August.<br /><br />And yes....that show is amazing!! I wish I could show a whole show...it is truly scary how some people live ...but what wonderful places they get after!
