Flea market

So last Sunday (17.8) we were in the park flea market selling our unnessecary items. The weather had been really unstable for the whole last week so we had our doubts but luckily the day was all sunny and warm. This time we took our small table with us because last time we had problems with arrangin stuff any reasonable way. The day took off really busy and we did a lot of selling. We had some design items with us and we actually got the price from them what we were asking for (which was kind of surprising). After 14pm the groud suddenly vanished and we had some items we very so sure to sell left in our hands. Luckily we can still give them away against couple of cents for our friends. Our total was little bit over 130 euro, we are happy with that!

Last week wasn't really productive when I think about Japanese. I really feel bad for it, but I was terribly tired. Not any new kanji learned, I really struggled with Minna no Nihongo aswell. Sometimes I really doubt can our goals be acchieved but nothing good comes out doubting that. I'm so glad that I have my last holiday week starting from Friday, I really need that!

Tokyo Memory

It was really hot day, last days of July 2012. Our original plan was to take off from our Asakusa hotel and head off to Chiyoda but because we did miscalculation with the trains we eneded up very much more far from the park we than what we planned. I have problems with the sun, have always had and I started to feel it getting me again so we took a fast stop in a Combini, but it already had effected to me too bad. We couldn't continue walking in the sun but didin't know where to go so we just decided to take first stairs down thinking it was a tunnel for subway.

It was one of our surprising experiences in Tokyo. We didn't find a subway but an underground shopping center with different small stores almost like a small labyrinth right under the office building area above us. We stopped in a small bakery and had awesome strawberry cake made almost only from whole strawberries and whipped cream. There I also saw first time the luggage bag which later on would be my most expencive purchase from the whole trip (since we ran out of bags in Kyoto ;) ). We were able to stay inside long enough for me to feel better, but it was already too late to continue to Chiyoda so we headed back to Asakusa and spent the evening there. I wish to go see that place again soon!
