Jalan-jalan during the weekend

It was a sunny Saturday and the weather was fantastic. The temperature was hovering 22 to 23 deg. Celcius. It was one of those days that I woke up and decided to walk and look around, and get some inspiration at how things work and look at people. I took a long walkabout and covered a length of up to 8km by foot (one way that is). Managed to see alot of places and the back lanes of the town.

The Dojoyama Ginja (Shinto Temple)

Niigata Sports Club. One of the possible places to train once I get a bicycle. Still too far to walk.

This place is called Bulldog. Checked out the place because the name was weird. The shop opens to a world of soft toys in it.

In retrospect to what I ate in Bakerzin....miss those days. This was taken in SATY, another subsidiary of the JUSCO group. Jusco stores, whether they are in Malaysia or Japan are easily identified. They have a template to all their buildings, escalators and even arrangement of things. Felt like walking in Jusco Mid-Valley or 1U if not for the Japanese characters, people and currency symbol.


Another picture taken in SATY. I love this place. They house everything under the sun. Guess what, this is the most expensive kimono in display and it costs 268,000yen (app. RM 8,700). Anyone wants to place an order, do call...


The cinema in SATY- MYCAL Warner Brothers. Another reason why I say this place made me felt so much like Mid-Valley or 1U; Jusco on one floor, cinema at another.

a whitish kimono with spring flowers and cranes for patterns and a matching pinkish maroonish obi makes a good gift for yours truly *beams*
