Whether to Leave the Kids at Daycare When my eldest daughter was born, I was desperate to get her into daycare as soon as possible. As a first-time parent, I had no breathing room and couldn’t handle being with her all day, so I started daycare when she was just six months old. On the other hand, with my second daughter, I’m completely under the spell of the “second child magic”… she’s so adorable that...
Cars Make It Easier to Talk About Things You Usually Don’t When you’re in a car, it somehow feels easier to talk about things you don’t usually discuss. When we go on long drives as a family, the kids usually fall asleep on the way back, so during that time, my husband and I talk about all sorts of things. Recent updates, changes in feelings, what’s important right now, work… Somehow, it’s much easier to...
Porsche Experience Day 2018. Yesterday, Mr. H, our Porsche dealer representative, kindly delivered the “Porsche Experience Day 2018” tickets right to our home. Inside were guest passes like this, and parking tickets. You need to show this parking ticket to park in the guest parking area. (I took photos but they were too dark and poor quality, so I borrowed these images.) Apparently, just from our dealer alone, 500 tickets have already been sold, so...
Sharing a Car Hobby as a Couple I often receive comments and messages on my blog, many of which say things like “I’m jealous that you and your spouse share a car hobby.” It makes me wonder, “Are most wives really not interested in cars?” …Until about three years ago, I had absolutely no interest in cars. In fact, I used to think, “Cars are such a luxury, totally unnecessary in life! Spending money on...
A Long-Overdue Couple’s Talk Yesterday, since our kids both went to bed unusually early, my husband and I had a rare deep conversation about life. And sober too (neither of us drinks). I can’t even remember how the topic came up, but it turned into this: “Successful people in the world all say the same thing, don’t they? They all say, just do what you want to do.” From there, we ended up talking about...
Truly a Mecca for Car Enthusiasts The other day, when I visited Cafe Seven, there were so many rare Porsches that it really lived up to its reputation as a haven for car lovers. (Just like this. Besides Porsches, there were also Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and BMWs.) Today, I’d like to introduce some of the Porsches that were there. ① Boxster (986) It was parked with the top down and looked incredibly cute. ② Cayman GT4...
The Mecca for Car Lovers: The Cafe This morning before noon, my husband said, “There’s this cafe called Cafe Seven, a mecca for car lovers, and a custom leather glove shop is setting up there just for this weekend. Want to go?” (This thing ↓) “Cafe Seven is in Tsukigase, so you can also enjoy touring around there, and you can drive on the Nara Nürburgring(a road nicknamed the Nürburgring of Nara) too.” He said....
Porsche Experience Day The other day on Twitter, a fellow Porsche enthusiast posted, “Shall we go to the Porsche Experience Day on June 16 (Sat) and 17 (Sun)?” The Porsche Experience Day is a special program held at Fuji Speedway in conjunction with events like the Porsche Carrera Cup, celebrating Porsche’s 70th anniversary. Ferdinand Porsche established his design office around 1930, but the first model bearing the Porsche name, the Porsche 356 No1 Roadster, debuted...
Changing My Name? Hello to everyone who always reads my blog. I’m Mina, a pro Porsche fan. …Wait, what’s a pro Porsche fan? (-_-) Actually, since I revamped this blog last month, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about “Who exactly am I?” There’s no doubt I’m a Porsche fan. But my husband says, “You’re probably the only person in all of Japan who loves the Panamera this much.” I check Porsche Japan’s official site...
I Started Instagram. Just recently, I finally started Instagram. At that time, my husband told me, “This person’s Instagram is really great.” It was porsche.sport.germany. He lives in Germany and posts photos of various Porsche models and colors every day. Every photo is stunning, and he has an incredible 529,000 followers!!(As of May 2018) Amazing… How does he manage to collect so many Porsche photos? Does he spend all day hunting for Porsches to photograph?...
