Sola loves this video clip.
He learned many Japanese words from this show.

Check a receipt

Hyvee is famous for a good customer service.
But their employees in Macomb are not well trained.
A casher forgot to honor my coupon, apply discounts, and categorize the items.
I start checking a receipt every time shopping there.
Surprisingly, Walmart tends to make fewer mistakes than Hyvee.
I guess their computer system is well developed.

Hokkaido

We are vitising our family in Saint Louis.
On the first day, we had dinner at the Japanese restaurant called Hokkaido.
Even though the restaurant servers many Chinese dishes, Abby and I love tuna and salmon sushi.
We had almost coule dozens of sushi in addtion to hibachi grill.
It seems less crowded on weekdays.

Sola's favorite movies

These are good resources for him to learn Japanese language.
My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service.

World Buffet

We had a wonderful lunch at World Buffet on Saturday.
It is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Midwest and worth driving to Galesburg.
Many selections including sushi for reasonable price!
I definitely recommend this restaurant.

YMCA

Abby and I became a member in the beginning of July and have been working out three days a week.
There is a nursery for Sola, and he seems to enjoy playing with other children.
However, we have been sick last week and guess Sola may have got some germs from them.
Anyway, we all feel fine today :)

Hiking

We went to Argyle Lake State Park today.
It was Sola's first hike, and he enjoyed a lot.
Here are some photos.
