We were slowly building up for our move to Tokyo over a long period of time. Unessential items were slowly migrated to our new flat in Tokyo and other non essential items were gradually being boxed up or thrown away. Initially I thought that we had little to take with us to Tokyo but it turned out that we had much more than we realised.Clara was a star. She rarely complained when we packed or threw away her clothes or toys. She proved very useful to have around and revelled in the cleaning duties. A perfect little helper!
On the afternoon of our move, it slowly became busier outside our flat as neighbours and friends realised that the time of our departure was close. That made us feel like we had truly became part of the local community and made our departure a bit special.In the end, all our belongings managed to fit inside the truck, but there was no margin for error. Clara seemed unperturbed by all the activity and played with her friends right up to the very last minute.
In between the packing, Yuki and I had to attend Clara's nursery school graduation ceremony. I knew this would be the most difficult event for us to attend and it proved to be quite emotional for us all. More on this in the next posting.

Plenty of room for beer.
Nah, the neighbours were just making sure you actually left.
Perhaps.....I saw that they had several boxes of bunting which they were trying to hide from us. It seemed as if a large party was in the offing.
Ah lovely pics of Clara, she is a happy girl! Good luck with Primary School tomorrow.
