Having a Great Time

I am really having  a great time in my stay here in Japan. My family and I have been going out during weekends and one thing that we enjoy doing is...shopping!:)

Last April 21, we went to Aieon Mall in Yamanashi. We don't have a mall that big in Suwa City so we had to drive for an hour to get to the nearest big mall. haha!

We stopped by the Service Area along the Express Way for lunch. The food court  dining experience here is so convenient and high-tech. Just choose your meal by tapping on the machine's screen, insert your money, then get the ticket (with control number) from the machine, and wait fr your number to be called at the counter. You see how the Japanese people really values time.

We enjoyed shopping. My cousin and I bought a couple of clothes and accessories. Fashion is one of the things I really love in Japan. Everyone's very conscious about how they look and what they wear. I was also able to buy some Totoro stuff for my friend who asked me to buy them as pasalubong for her. And since the bigger and nicer items were more expensive, I settled to buying what's more acceptable for my pocket, so I got her 2 keychains. It's the thought that counts right?:)

The next day, we went grocery shopping. It's one of the chores I enjoy doing because I love cooking and eating haha! In front of the supermarket was one of my favorite authentic Japanese foods, "takoyaki". It's sooooo yummmmy!!!:)
