Filing Tax deduction

we spent almost 400000yen last year for medical fees. That is big amount of money. I filed tax deduction today on internet. i learned that we would receive about 80000yen in the end of march. if we have forgotten this process, we would have just lost this money, and it goes to their pocket.

afternoon walk

Went for a walk this afternoon. temperature was much better than a few days ago. Since the bebe is getting heavy, we put her on the back in a baby carrier. We walked in Meijijingu, Sangubashi and went to Yamaya to get a whiskey. Our apartment is located in convenient place, in the center of tokyo. we have an access to major commercial places within 30 minutes but our place is not so nice. at least I want an elevator.

Saturday theater

watching Seven Years in Tibet on TV. I confirmed Brad pitt is a nice actor. He can do any kinds of subtle smilings and expressions. Only two western people in Tibette in this movie and the rest are natives, that was very strange and unexpected.
