The Olsen Twins (2005-03-09)
I practically watched the Olsen twins grow up on television. I started watching their show, Full House, on TV in Sydney and once or twice I saw their movies on TV here in Tokyo. The girls are not well-known in Japan, I doubt many people know who they are. So I was surprised to see a whole section of mary-kateandashley merchandise on sale in Seiyu ( a K-mart type store in Tokyo).
I never thought I would see Mary-Kate and Ashley's faces all over
the stores here, they make me think of the years when I lived in the
US, not Sydney. Perhaps the twins brought back memory of their
long-running sitcom, which in turn reminds me of San Francisco, which
then takes me back to San Jose, California where I spent some of the
happiest days of my life.
