NAF sale

Today morning, I got a message from my husband about NAF sale. I've heard about it few times through 35FSS facebook. I haven't planed on going there, I was going to go to yoga instead. I heard they have reduced price for snowboard and boots. So I decided to go, I packed my workout clothes just because to drop by the gym after sale.

I got snowboard for $5 and boots for $5. It was successful and very fun to see the items! Japaneses workers were very helpful finding right size and right number for the items. I wouldn't get this great customer service at another place. :)

Phada's Authentic Thai Food

The first place that we ate out was this thai food place. this place only opens at lunch time(ends at 2:30pm) or dinner time (starts at 5pm). located next to the Chinese restaurant near max value (grocery store). we parked at max value and walk to thai food place. we ate the most delicious thai food there when lady cook cooked our food.  I will definitely find out her name and will have second trip to the place again. very delicious thai food. I totally recommend.

Buy Clothes at Uniqlo

Uniqlo is the clothing store which is like H&M. this store has lots of comfortable clothes with various colors too. uniqlo's size of clothing is not like any other kinds of Japaneses clothing. The Japanese clothes comes with small size with lots of graphics or prints but uniqlo doesn't have that size or prints problems. You can check the websites here.

Japan Version

I recommend you to check the Japan version website too just because they do lots of sales year around. I have several pairs of 'Ultra Stretch Jeans". this jeans are awesome and fits like a gloves. As you see from their name, this jeans stretches great, sometimes it gets little too big for skinny jeans. when it happens I wash it and naturally dry over night. then the jeans comes back to the original size. First wash needs to be washed separately with other laundry and machine dry is not recommended.

shopping bag situation

We went to Japanese Grocery store yesterday and got potatoes and some snacks. When we checked out the stuffs we got, the lady at the registration asked us if we need a plastic bag. Since we had no place to put the stuffs, we said we want a bag. the lady immediately charged us 196 yen (2dollar) for plastic bag!

In states we never worried about carrying personal bag to carry stuffs. the plastic bag is so expensive here in Japan! We have to carry personal bag to grocery store otherwise they charge 2 dollar for a bag.
