Sorry!!! I'm back!

So, Shimashimaland is our favorite place in all of Nagoya. It is the kids play area we talked about in an earlier blog. They have these shows like 5-6 times a day that, at first, Carlos ignored. Now he loves them. The shows are very Japanese in that the main girl is like a happy robot and all of the dance moves are robotic as well. And the high voice... women with microphones all talk that way... on TV, the aquarium, the recorded voice in the elevator, etc. The helium voice.

As you can see in the videos, Carlos tries to get as close to the stage as possible. He often tries to climb up, but the "bouncers" stop him. All of the Japanese kids and their parents sit quietly five feet back... and there is Carlos... right up front.

Here are two videos...
