Shopping
I rode the subway here to go shopping in Tokyo today. I found gifts for you. It is something very sensible that you will value. Just wait and see!
I bought myself a kimono that is made of light weight cotton. It is called a yukata. It is beautiful! I asked how much, "Ikura deska?" The saleslady showed me with numbers like ours on a piece of paper.
I found a 100 Yen store. I really liked shopping there. It is like our dollar stores, because a yen is close to our penny. Their money has the numbers on it like our numbers.
Food
I have had many Japanese meals. The food was delicious (oishi des). I:ve had many kinds of vegetables and lots of white rice. I can eat with chopsticks, but it is tiring.
I ate at McDonalds just to get the happy meal. The toy is their fast train. I'll show you when I get home.
Tonight I ate at a restaurant that is like our Denny's but with Japanese food. I had mushrooms and other veggies over pasta (like fettucini). The waitress showed me pictures of the food because she didn't know English.
