Cheap Shopping in Japan

April 30, 2017 By Peter Warren

Find It All and Have Fun Doing It At the Don Quijote. For a cheap, all-encompassing shopping experience in Japan head to the nearest Don Quijote. Named after Cervantes’s famed adventurer, it is really a place where you can find almost anything. Whether you’re looking for things to furnish and decorate your home, stock up the pantry, increase the size of your wardrobe, or buy the latest gadget, Don Ki (as it’s called in Japan) is the place to go.

It’s a bit like a Japanese Wal-Mart; you can get such a wide range of items- from groceries to alcohol to electronics to shoes to medicine- and you can find it all under one roof. Yet Don Quijote may prove to be a bit more interesting and memorable an experience than the American mega-chain.

First of all, Don Quijotes are all several stories high. Like a lot of things in Tokyo- shops, restaurants, salons, etc., you may have to look upwardly and not vertically to find what you’re looking for. It’s like taking Wal-Mart and squeezing it in and up. And some of the purchases you find here you may not find in the American chain- from cheap Japanese souvenirs, kimono, designer hand bags and watches to pet clothes, herbal aphrodisiacs and sex toys. Not to mention the wide array of Japanese anime and other costumes (young people love their “cos-play,” as they call it) on offer.…

Discomfort in the Hospital

June 26, 2015 By Peter Warren

Here are a few items that aren’t necessary but can help make your hospital stay more comfortable.

I love our Boppy and it makes propping up baby for nursing so much easier than trying to arrange a bunch of pillows into the right position, not something you want to deal with when you’re trying to breastfeed for the first time (and trust me, even if you’ve done it before, when you have a new baby it’s your first time breastfeeding).

Your hospital provides pillows and blankets for your hospital bed, and most likely has some for dad along with a place to sleep, but I’m very particular about my pillows and the flat hospital ones simply don’t cut it. Andrew brought a throw for himself because he says one of those typical woven hospital blankets isn’t enough to keep him warm (hospitals are often chilly) but two is too much. So to avoid any discomforts (even minor ones can suck when you have a brand new baby) it doesn’t hurt to bring your own.

Despite popular misconceptions I’ve never been disappointed in the food I received at the hospital (but then I’ve always birthed in birthing centers that had separate kitchens from the main hospitals) and it is actually quite easy to procure food from other sources if you don’t like it. Many places will deliver to the hospital, ask your nurse about how to go about doing that. And of course you can always bring your own food. I made sure to have some drinks and snacks on hand for after birth and when we’re up late at night with baby.…

What I Brought to the Hospital

January 16, 2015 By Peter Warren

When I think back to the things that were (and were not) in my hospital bag for Claire I just have to roll my eyes and facepalm. We brought tons of the wrong sized diapers and frilly outfits with an unseemly amount of buttons. It was a disaster. With Logan I tried to go the opposite way, bringing just one bag to the hospital. We ended up having to make a trip home to get necessary things, like clothes for me to wear home1. With Julia I feel like I finally got it right. We had everything we needed but also didn’t have a bunch of unnecessary items that were just in the way. So I figured I’d share what I brought in my hospital bag for my third child!

You can click on the image on the left to pin this whole thing to Pinterest and view the full-size image here. Below I’ve broken things down by bag and will go into detail about each, along with some additional information about extras and things the hospital provides (and thus you don’t need to bring with you).

I was induced with all three of my kids so the things I brought were geared towards being comfortable and entertained during long stretches of waiting. These things may or may not be helpful to you, but hopefully they can give you some ideas!…
