Despite all the good things that happened in my closing week of the semester, there was one black cloud. My favorite neighborhood store is going out of business.Imagine my delight when three years ago, an actual 百円 shop opened right around the corner from my house. It was so exciting to pop in occasionally and pick up all sorts of goodies, straight from Japan and priced just right between $1-$2.
Well, I guess not enough people in my neighborhood were as overjoyed as I was to have this little piece of Nihon in their backyard. I chatted up the 店員さん in Japanese as I was being checked out to express my sadness at their closing. From now on I'll have to slum it at Big Lots for all my discount item purchases.
All I want for Xmas is...
a pony, a Bratz doll, a Hannah Montana CD, a Barbie bicycle...冗談だよ！

One door closes and another opens. Coincidentally, a brand-spankin' new Daiso just opened at Iidabashi Station. Haven't toughed out the crowds yet, but will do the honors in your honor later this week. Need anything?
