purin,
i also heard St James VERY popular, and hard to get in. luckily i don't stay near there, if not damn cialak for me too, gotta be KS...hee...
btw, today before going to hokkaido fair i checked out a playgroup across the street from my place. am quite impressed with it. gonna let sarah attend a 5-day trial session, then if all goes well, will sign her up for this yr.
it is only 2.5hrs but i think it would do her good. cause everyday at home can tell she is quite bored, so hopefully she can have fun interacting with other kids her age.
