Japan Day 7

Today, we decided to go shopping at Itoyokado.
The closest one to Ikebukuro is at Akabane, which is a 10 min train ride.

I always get excited when I go to スーパーs like Itoyokado & Jusco. I think it's cuz our 田舎 didn't have any stores around & the only exciting thing we did was go out into the city (still in the countryside) to go shopping. Cuz they always have a pretty big toy section & I also liked the stationery stores in there too.

We spent about 2 hours there, then headed back to Ikebukuro to rest for an hour... cuz we had dinner plans w/ じゅるる's college friends at 5pm. Some of the folks who couldn't make the camp/retreat thingie wanted to meet up, so about 20 or so met us for dinner.

Dinner ended at 7:30pm, then we headed to another restaurant for a ２次会. And we probably stayed there until 11pm... but it seems like the rest of the group stuck around a little bit later than that.

Oh, we got a pretty bouquet of flowers from one person & the group gave us two shikishi w/ photos & messages from everyone.
