Tokyo: day two
today, we did a lesson in the morning, followed by a tour of the famous Japanese Tokyo department stores that literally stock every single item known to man and advertise for it all in a nauseating sort of sensory overload sort of way. For my Stockmans loving friends out there, Finland ain't got nothing on these guys. we went to one department store that was 10 stories, just for electronics, toys, and food. No clothing. There was an entire floor just for cameras. There was anther department chain with two separate 5 story buildings across the street from each other: one for men and one for women.

did you even know there where this many KINDS of hairdryers? let alone purchase them all in one place???

best product found at this place was a vacuum cleaner designed to vacuum your dog, and only your dog.  No floors or carpets. just dog. some how I really don't see how dogs are getting on board with this....

we found this sign on the way back to the center for our night time classes. so far the best engrish we have found, although there are also some other good signs out there. more to come.

then, because it was Deborah's birthday, we went out o kareoke after dinner.
