Cuteness

Day Two has been amazing...I feel like I'm this wide-eyed tourist who jumps up and down at every little thing I see! There are simply too much to see here...today we were taken around by mum's friend who has lived in Tokyo for over 20 years. She took us to this really cool discount store which is exclusive for certain people (I don't really know how she got the membership tho). The store sells everything from Japanese kimonos to cash registries..hehe. I guess it is a bit like Wal-Mart in the US except everythings in great quality and it is the kind of store that you enter only wanting to buy one item but end up leaving with a hundred. Me and mum are always up for bargains so we spent well over 4 hours at the store...

I'm usually not one who is into anything 'cute'...but today I got those cute lunch boxes with several compartments plus patterned linen sacks to carry them in. I can already imagine taking them to work next year and getting weird looks from colleagues! I like!

Posh mineral water...Norwegian design

Tokyo-ites love their bikes...thus pollution here isn't so bad!
