After that we decided to head over to the next mall. Downstairs I found my first KFC!
Apparently they have that ceramic Col. Sanders in every KFC here. Its very inviting.
Basically you walk out of the one mall and theres a big walkway connected to the train station and the other mall too. This was right in the middle. Its all like 2 stories above ground the ground too. This arch looks like we are going into an old town or something but its just randomly there outside the station on the way to the next mall.
And this a random shot from up there.
When you go into the next mall, the first floor was alllll food vendors. It is kind of like in Sears or something..but every area was just food stands. Cakes, chocolate, hot food...everything. Was crazy. And it all looked amazing too. That last quarter or so turned into a grocery store..which was random.
After this, while trying to find a train ticket place where we could get discount tickets, we found ourselves down 1 floor. It was so bizarre. It was all done to look like an old fashioned Japanese street. It was all restaurants..but only about a quarter were actually real. Kind of like walking around in one of those old fashion towns in the BC museum...kind of. Very strange, but certainly cool.
I managed to buy a couple of shirts at the mall, one being XXL which was basically a large for Canadian size. I was trying to find some shirts with crazy english that makes no sense I always saw coworkers wearing. I always thought they were great and was able to find 1 good one anyway. I also picked up some much needed sandals. We did a ton of window shopping of course, since I find everything fascinating. After that it was time to finally head home. I think all in all we were out for about 5-6 hours.
Spotted this extremely fancy looking bakery too. If it wasn't for the poster on the window you would probably think your looking at a jewelry store. Actually these kind of places are all over.
And here a picture of a Japanese family restaurant. Kind of like Dennys. But they have a ton of plastic food to show you what your in for. Actually the plastic food is everywhere here. You might see it at a couple restaurants in Victoria (I know Koto does it) but not sure where else.
And that basically raps up that day. We passed out pretty early that night too. We had Mackerel that her mom made for dinner, which was very good. I didn't think I liked it but turns out I do..
The next day we just lazed at home all day really, it was hot and we were tired. I find that I am not really sure what the date is nor the day of the week usually, so if I make a mistake on days you will have to forgive me!
Sat we headed to Osaka to stay the night with her sister and her family. I will post the first part of that journey later today I hope.
