アメリカ生活

Back to US

When we arrived in Boston on Sunday night,
Jake started to laugh and was saying "oh-, Boston"
while we were walking through Boston International Airport.
Our airport looked so old and not good design compared to
Zurich Airport, we were laughing how other airports that
we have been at are much much nicer than Boston
"International" Airport. oh, well.

Anyway, yes, I am back in Boston now.
Today was high in 70s (19℃）and a beautiful day,
I opened windows, cleaned up our apartment covered with cat hair and
did 4 loads of laundries.

I am going back to my freelance job on tomorrow.
Let's see how I do tomorrow.

Falling asleep in Jake's arms.

My niece has busy schedules to hang out with us all the time for past 2 weeks.
Sometimes, she misses her regular nap time and
fell asleep in a car or baby stroller.

L fell sleep in a car on the way to Italian restaurant for lunch and
Uncle Jake had to carry her to the restaurant.




I thought it is very cute that he carries her so gently
to the restaurant without her waking up....

iSight with my parents

While we are all here, I wanted to do iSight with my parents,
so one afternoon, we chatted with my parents through iSight.

My sister was overwhelmed that we are all together
and talking/seeing each other as a family and she started to cry,
so I took over after.
L was in a great mood and recognized my parents.
She could not stop waving to my parents whole entire time we were chatting.

My parents was very surprised to see how much L grews up in 2 months or so.
Last time when they came to see her, she could barely walk.
Now she is walking around a lot and started to say more words.
I love this photo, because my parents look soooooo happy and cute to see L
and that makes me really happy!

Bike of the day

This is bicycle fenders that I saw when I was walking down the street
and I've never seen a bicycle fender like this before,
so I decided to post it in here.


I think it is kind of cute to have colorful ropes to put fenders in the place.

My new bag

When Jake bought his vintage glasses frame,
I bought this bag for myself at the same thrift store.
I always wanted to have a classy tote bag like this,
so I was very excited about my found!



My niece wanted to check it out my bag too.
Hopefully, she will have a good taste in shoes and bags in the future.

Jake's glasses

We went to the thrift store the other day and Jake bought
his glasses frame.
His current glasses frame are all beat up
and needed new one so badly.

This is a vintage glasses he bought for 10 FR.




I asked him to try on new glasses and this is how it looks like it
when he put it on.


It is a beautiful glasses and I can't wait for him to have his
prescription in this glasses!

Bodum store in Zurich

Me and Jake use Bodum French Press for coffee sometimes,

and I wanted to see their store, so we went to Bodum store in this afternoon.

We bought this new 2009 design coffee cup called
CANTEEN Double Wall Porcelain Cups and cut vegetable storage container.




After came back from Bodum store and looked around online,
I realized buying Bodum stuff in US is more expensive than buying in Swiss!
This coffee cup, set of 2 was about $18 (US) in Swiss,
but if I buy in U.S., it will cost me about $30!
Wow!!!

I am excited about new addition to our dishes.
I love finding and adding new kitchen items with Jake!

By the way, Bodum is a tableware and kitchenware company
founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1944 by Peter Bodum.
No wonder why I like their design so much!

YES or NO ?????

The bicycle shop near my sister's house carries
my favorite helmet called YAKKAY.
This store has so many different type of helmet cover.
One of the cover that I really like is this one calledLuzern.
Kind of look like a Russian Winter hat, but it is super cute.
I tried on and I have to say that I look good with this helmet cover.


I am debating whether I should get this one or get summer version of the
helmet cover since I already have a plaid pattern cover.

Should I get it or not?
Here is the vote so far.

Jake- No
Peter- No
Dad- No
Mike_No

Okey, who is YES???

Bicycle of the day

Today's bicycle that I saw in Zurich is this one.

The front part where you put your kids inside is made by nice wood.
I really think this is an awesome bicycle to have once we have kids,
but I am sure it will cost like $3000 to $4000.......

AND
I saw this handle bar on park bicycle and I really liked this type
of handle bar, so I will post in here.


Today, I also bought a cute head light for $12.
I can't wait to use it for my vintage bicycle!

View of Zurich

This posting, I will have scenic of Zurich.
This is Old Town area, so it has a feeling of old European city.
