No picture day.

Funny how I didn’t end up with any pictures today, seeing how I took a few with demo cameras at the store and even got yelled at for taking a picture in the store with a friend’s camera. We’re in Toyama today, visiting family friends. We ended up going to the electronics store to get an ethernet cable, going to the mall twice (once for ice cream), and going to eat sushi on a track. I ate so much sushi for lunch that I couldn’t eat dinner. My sister swears that I pulled the same stunt on a trip to Japan back when we were kids and I wouldn’t eat sushi for years afterwards. The fish is incredibly fresh up here in Toyama, and I ate a lot of it.

Another big surprise is how good the ice cream at Baskin & Robbins is here. The Pumpkin Pudding ice cream really tastes like pumpkin, and the Gingerbread Blueberry ice cream really tastes like gingerbread.

Tomorrow we head back to Osaka and we’ll see what happens there. I expect that I’ll finally start spending some money on silly things. I have to replace my mom’s stolen GameBoy, for example, and I may get her a DS lite and Brain Age. She likes puzzles like that.
