Pro tip: You can start sending your baby to hoikuen as early as three months.me_in_japan wrote:good luck with thatI plan to game once a month from 2012. Less is more so to speak.Incoming baby will render all plans irrelevant, or so I'm given to understand. My gaming goals for 2012 are: go to nagoyahammer in May.
