I’ve always taken my kids on trips, from road trips to long-haul trips and now, with 4 kids, flying with them for 13 years, I think I have a few tips to make life easier. The necessary items change as they get older, so I’ll separate it into groups. For everyone: – Take a spare […]
We were living in NZ for the last 6+ years. It’s just expected that we’d flown AirNZ a few times. And we did. On this post, I’m going to talk about our last flight, from Auckland to Tokyo, in September 2016. We flew economy class, for a bit over 11 hours on a night flight. […]
Brazil is a BIG country and very hard to talk about as one. It’s like it has loads of little places in one country. Even the language sounds different. The capital of Brazil is Brasília (which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Rio de Janeiro (over 6 million people) and São Paulo (over 11 million […]
We visited the Tokyo Trick Art Museum in September 2016. It cost JP¥ 900 for adults and JP¥ 600 for kids between 4 and 15. It’s located in Odaiba, which is a bit far to get to from Tokyo, but it’s such a beautiful place, I think it’s worth visiting anyway. João also wrote a […]
We spent a month in Japan in September 2016. It was a frenetic month, full of trips, outings, weather problems, movement, and amazement. We really do love Japan, it’s one perfect place to have a vacation. We stayed in 3 cities while in Japan: Tokyo, Osaka, and Suzuka. It was a bit over 2 weeks […]

We visited Asakusa in September 2016. It was hot and humid and crowded. Really crowded. And impressive. We loved it. Most of it. On this post, you’ll find all we did around Asakusa, in Tokyo, Japan with kids. [wp_ad_camp_5] Asakusa for families We arrived at Asakusa train station and were surprised by the […]
We lived in Japan for 2 years a long time ago. That’s when I bought myself the prettiest wallet in the world, a Totoro wallet. It was big enough to fit all our stuff in (like 6 passports, 6 -or 12- boarding passes, currency from different places, credit cards and all that. It was also […]
We visited the Ghibli Museum in September 2016. * Updated February 2018 with a new visit! If you don’t know what Ghibli Studios is, you should probably stop right now and go watch My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo on the Cliff, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Grave of the Fireflies and all the other movies. I’m serious. If […]
We collected a few curiosities and tips while in Japan. We hope you’ll find them useful, or interesting! – Japanese girls and women are mostly always pictured wearing super tight and short clothing in anime and manga, but in reality, they wear loose clothing and, even during summer months, they end up wearing long sleeves […]
