Chiba, take two

Miku-san

Friday afternoon my speaking partner, Miku-san, and I decided to take the train to Chiba to do some serious window shopping.

We went to a LoFT store at a fancy department store. I don't like shopping, but it's fun to walk around at LoFT. They have everything weird and cool and (un)practical and "kawaii" - and everything in between. I really fell for this bun that looked, felt and smelt real. I thought about sending it to my sister, but I was afraid she might not get that it was fake and take a big at it and choke. I don't think my parents would be too appreciative. Also I was stoked to find out that they sell Urban Decay cosmetics in Japan, a brand I had to stock up on when I went to NY in March, and usually have to by online. It's a drag coming from No Man's land.

Booring.

Okay, a few pictures.

Japan - the land of fake food that looks re-heally real

Very tasty looking melon

Short trip to Chiba

Today Catrine and I went to Chiba, a short train ride from Togane. We're bored, we're in Japan, and we don't have classes until next Thursday.

We discovered this small park right by the train station in Togane

In Japan the areas were people cross the street are wide

We finally went and got our mandatory purikura-stickers done

Hey - a vending machine selling beer!
