Kai has the arcade gene

At one of the larger malls in the area, they have a kids play area on the 3rd floor called US Island. It is certainly a paradise for Kai — there is a giant indoor jungle gym and ball pit, and lots of classic games which are free to play. Even pop pop would have enjoyed the classic air hockey which Kai played like a regular.

Bakery Run Kanazawa

It turns out that there are a lot of bakeries in Kanazawa.  A lot of really good bakeries.  Will do our best to search out the sublime, but there are the constraints of time and the physical toll of intense morning carbs (but hey, I’m on holidays right).  Today was Donq, where I had a curry bun with soft boiled egg inside (how they got it perfectly done inside a doughnut shell, I’ll never be able to fathom).  Kai is growing up fast.  He picked both his targets (a cheese flatbread and a sweet bean doughnut) and knocked them down without much help from papa, even though I was begging for some of that tasty looking doughnut.
