My family went to this FREE event at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena. Sorry, no photos. But it was a good time for all, especially the kids. I would recommend these family-friendly events (this was my 2nd one here and I've been to ones at the Japanese American Museum too) because they do such a good job getting children involved. They were able to write letters to children in Pakistan, dress up as travelers on the Silk Road, color and make hand-crafted puppets.

We also saw the exhibit that integrates images of samurai, from wood-block prints to modern anime. This is worth the trip as well. Many of the artifacts are on-loan to the museum, so you better hurry. I believe the exhibit ends August 9.
