More Japanese lessons from the "no one in Japan uses 'ore' anymore" person.

That whole post is pretty much wall-to-wall fail, actually.

Or been a Volks customer. Or else I'm wrong and Volks thinks I'm the Emperor. That must be it.

Which reminds me, my News came, but yours didn't. Did your membership expire?

I didn't think so, I tend to renew every year during GW and GW hasn't passed yet. So who knows, I don't really need it particularly when I have to pack so much up now. ;;_;; And at this point, I have no idea when I will be back in Japan post this trip. And if what Ria says is true, Sato is not exactly going to be open to me....

I do need Kakeru, Chika and their outfits. SO CUTE!

Volks thinks you're the Empress XD;; Or possibly descended from the Shogunate.

I think this person is just getting an extremely skewered view of all of Japan being the housewife of a rich ex-pat. It's like imagining all the US is like living in a suburb of NYC. though seriously that ore one was ridiculous. I'd just seen a Japanese movie on the plane and the main male character used ore all the time and he was 30+, it was not animated, he was not yakuza, and he lived in Tokyo.

That she couldn't go with kids. And let's be honest, if I were to go back to Japan the chances I would have a baby or small toddler with me on the trip are pretty high. I do plan to breastfeed until the baby is a year at least and you can't easily just drop your toddler for a week or two and honestly, I wouldn't want to.

Hm. I can't remember ever seeing a baby there, but there was a girl about 7-8 last time I went. (Of course, she was Japanese, so if she looked 7, she was probably 15, lol.)

I have seen babies/toddlers at SCC, though their mothers were circles, not shoppers. But if you can't bring a baby to Sato or Dolpa, that pretty much excludes me.
