More Shopping…
Posted March 16th, 2010 in Japan 6 Comments »Today was my “hitori” (alone) shopping day. I left home around 10 AM, and came home at 4 PM. I bought so many stuff.
I drove Kei-truck, and went to Daiso first. I feel funny to drive Kei-truck, because the image of this car is like “a car used by grandpa & grandma for rice fields”. I’m not embarrassed, but when i see people looking at me driving Kei-truck while they drive cool Japanese cars, I feel little funny… 😛
At Daiso, I was too excited to think about what I really wanted to buy. I wanted to buy everything I saw. As I was alone, no one could stop me…! Yet I tried to buy just a few things, because I knew I’ll go to other 100 yen shops later. I bought 30 items there, including some junks and house stuff.
Then, I headed to Viva City which is a shopping centre in Hikone (near my house). I bought another shawl (casual looking one) at 880 yen, one clothes at 500 yen, and one hair accessory at 105 yen. I had a break at Mister Donut. I ordered one Honey Churros and one cup of cafe au lait (unlimited free refill!)
I actually wanted to try their new menu, but didn’t really feel like eating creamy stuff at that time.
Then I headed to my formal student’s house. I used to be an English teacher for kids few years ago, and Kiryu, one of my students, lives near Viva City. I actually knew no one would be there, as I called up his house this morning and had a little chat with his mother. She and I are quite close too 🙂 She told me that she wouldn’t be home today. They’re moving to Hokkaido at the end of this month, and busy for packing.. I went to the house anyway, and left a little souvenir at the door. Now I have a thing to do when I go to Hokkaido in the future – visiting their house 🙂
On the way back I did a little shopping at another shop. I bought some food and cosmetics.
I’m little tired… it was super cold today and even I couldn’t stand it. (I normally love cold weather) I hope I’m not catching cold! My friend and I are going to a spa tomorrow. 🙂
I really envy you…you enjoy shopping at 100yen shops,and you will enjoy spa!!!! I miss it a lot as my new place has no bath-tub.
If I had ‘Dokodemo-door’ I’d visit you definately!Enjoy Japan for a while!And see you soon in Perth. (^0^)/~

I love love Daiso! Luckily there isn’t one in Perth, otherwise I’ll be in trouble 😉
PJ,
Me too !! You can buy almost everything you need for your house at Daiso and other 100yens. If there is one in Perth, I wouldn’t go to other shops :p
