Last week the kids and I were looking for a little adventure so we hopped on the Shinkansen and took it to Hiroshima. Hiroshima is about an hour away by monster van, but it is a cool 15 minutes by bullet train! When we arrived, we caught a cab to the new Costco. That was a bit of an adventure in itself. I kept telling the driver that we wanted to go to Costco. He kept saying things in Japanese and giving me the most confused looks. I finally used my phone and typed out COSTCO. The driver said "OH COSACO! I said "Hai COSACO". The kids all smiled at each other from the backseat. We made an afternoon out of going to the new COSACO! It was like stepping into America and we had a great time together.
