La Qua


La Qua

It was a national holiday today, Dried Fish Day or something. We went to Korakoen, home of Tokyo Dome and affiliated attractions. There is a harum-scarum, hurdy gurdy roller coaster ride that twists and turns in spine-jangaling elipses and flies through a round hole in the top right hand corner of the shopping building. I've haven't ridden it but in my mind I've been through that hole many times, and every time I emerge the track has some how disappeared and we are gliding parabolically towards the ground. We land in the space between the people in the photograph.
We were going to have a look at Koshikawa Park, which is next to the Dome, but although it looked very nice, it didn't look like the sort of garden a 17 month old toddler was going to get any kicks out of of, so we gave it a miss, for a couple of years, but hey, we'll be back.
