Tomica

We have two favorite play places to take Carlos. One is Shimashimaland (that play area I blogged about earlier) and the other is the Tomica store in Oasis21 (this outdoor/indoor mall area with lots of room to run around). Tomica makes toy cars, trucks and little city scenes. They have this great play area that the kids take their little shoes off and go nuts with all of the toys. Below is a video I found on youtube of the Tomica store in Nagoya. You can see the fiberglass floor with cars and trains running underneath and the 9 billion little Japanese kids playing. Carlos is not in the video.



Hopefully, you won't see the bully who clapped his hands in Carlos' face, then poked his cheek then pinched his cheek until David had to intervene and say "NO TOUCHING!" to the little boy who had no idea what he was saying but knew he was one pissed off daddy.
