ok, i need to bring gifts to brother and sister.

and my brother do not care about リラックマ、

but my sister loves the white bear.

and i want to get something with a BIG white bear for my sister’s SUPER CUTE baby,

so i went to this store, hoping to find something …

last time on my sister’s b-day, i sent a little pillow chicken.

but i think this chicken is AWESOME, cause it is super BIG and SOFT …

i want to take them something that i cannot usually send through mailing …

brown bear …

very soft and cute …

and this is from the same company, i do not feel いや、

just that it does not look persuasive enough to make me want to spend money or even have the thought to spend money to get this … but i do think this is cute, in some way …

this is GOOOOOOOD food!!!!!

yes, it is korean food here in japan, yes, in our infamous 新大久保, but the soup really is awesome, i wonder if it can be compared to the real korean food in korea.

but it sure fits our taste.

one more photo of the one i ordered!

since this program not seem able to accept the original sized down iphone photos, i went ahead and manually “trim down” the up and down and it can look “upright” here, how is THAT?

not bad, huh?

in that restaurant, there is a drawing on the wall that might … offend the Winnie the Pooh lovers …

a drunk and sort of “twisted” looking pooh?

after the great lunch, we passed by an interesting store with loads of people lining up …

so i was offered the chance to try this, and so i followed and got into the line!

this is also good, sticky and freshly made!

and pay attention to the SHAPE of the “bread” thing before it is cooked!

WHITE SHINY MOUNTAIN shape!!!!

very cute!!!

see them better?

tofu above.

i was brought to the korean restaurant, it was sooooooo good. especially the appetizer!!!

i dont know why, ever since i started using my iphone and downloaded the upgrades the end of last year, the photos resolutions seems gone way higher and this program no longer directly accepted them …

and this time, i had to わざわざ resize all of them, and when i saved them they are still UPRIGHT, but geez look at these photos … they are not right … ><

all of them should be turned right 45 degree …

these sprouts really taste good …

and of course in the infamous 新大久保 〜

this might look not “very attractive”, but actually this taste great!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, it is seaweed!!!

this 大根 also, i wish i can have that everyday, it will sure makes me feel good ~~~.

a lot was happening in march.

first i had to prepare trip go back to clear the FOREVER PAYING storage room.

and the main reason is still, my parents are threatening to not going back to the States forever …

and that means, the chance of “whole family” reunion is close to ZERO if they really meant what they said. therefore, even though i completely 100% did not want to go, due to 義務、i went …

and i brought along the above, a very cute little bag for one of the BBs, possibly the cutest baby now on earth.

this is supposed to be her b-day present, but since my day of visiting is so close to her b-day, i decided to bring it to her myself instead of mailing.

and this is one of the LAWSON wonder, you save enough stickers, you can get this for FREE.

for リラックマ fans, it should be a pretty ok good news.

i am not a first-time “buyer” of this, so i know, it is better for you to BUY directly from the リラックマ store rather than saving 25 stickers forcing yourself to eat the bread or dessert you do not want and get this definitely “made in china” 2nd rated products, … but anyway, with the help of many people, i happened to receive THREE of the above mug …

and actually, it is not as bad as one thinks, so i also brought one back to the States and gave to my sister.
