Love has NO language barrier :D

Tohko & Natalie

My sister-in-law visited us for the first time from Japan. And, she brought along her 11 year old daughter, Tohko.

For my kids & Tohko, it was the first time they meet each other in their entire lives. And, it was love at first sight for them ^^ hehe...

Tohko, having a Japanese mother & residing in Tokyo, do not speak a word of English aside from "yes, no" & counting from 1-10.

My kids, Hans (7yrs) & Natalie (4yrs) speak mostly English & Bahasa Indonesia.

They being kids, were happily playing catch & laughing gleefully at each other, barely 10 minutes after my sister-in-law & Tohko entered our home.

I knew that children can hit it off fairly quickly with each other. But, seeing that there's a real language barrier (which did not improve significantly for the entire 5 days they stayed with us) only proves me that love has no barrier indeed. And, as the saying goes: "Blood is thicker than water" :)

Now, we're making plans (to save up) for a trip to Japan for our year end holiday next year.

I cant wait! I believe, the same goes for Natalie ^^
