Oh, if anyone knows where to find episodes of the show “First Errand” or はじめてのおつかい please let me know! They have clip online at http://www.ntv.co.jp/otsukai but I don’t think it streams to North America.

Hey, thanks for commenting! I think you typed in your website wrong, so here it is for everyone else: http://westcoastnana.blogspot.com/

I’ve never lived in any place where we left the door unlocked. But I’m only 27.

I got inspired to write this post after reading this:

I spoke about the exact same thing not too long ago on my blog. Our curfew was the church bells ringing at noon and 6pm. We all knew that was time to go home. Doors were left unlocked and people looked after one another. Now no one knows their neighbors or if there was even a strange car in the neighborhood. We raised our children without cells and IPODS and their own cars and now they are raising their own children (one of which lives in Lethbridge. It drives me crazy when I am trying to have a conversation with them and they can’t be without their phones and video games etc. Kids don’t play outside anymore and don’t use their imaginations anymore unless they are blowing up some bad guys on the latest tv video game.

Good post!!!
