Chiharu Cafe

Here's a Japanese-American cultural difference (or maybe it's just the Third Culture of Japanese Folks in Chicago Suburbs): when we arrange a playdate, we mean it. While we're having lunch and drinking coffee at the "Chiharu Cafe" the kids will be playing for at least FIVE HOURS. And then I'll still get complaints on the way home, "how come we can't play longer?!"....
Gochisou Sama Deshita, Chiharu!
