Lilica and the Bear

During a casual walk down the shopping arcade near Bikan area, Lily found this stuffed bear in front of a shop. She was very excited to see it and kept kissing and hugging it for a long time. Many people walking by stopped to say how cute she was, while the store manager smiled as she talked to a customer from the inside of her store.

Each time we go the the "Museum" area, we find new things to see and new places to explore. We always find a new place to eat lunch, too, and are truly enjoying this のんびり or laid-back city life. Kurashiki is big enough to have all of the conviniences of a city, yet still feels small, with little stressful moments or few scenes of overwhelming crowds. It's really a nice place to live and I feel very lucky to have found it for my family.
