Friday – April 6, 2012 – Yukata search
Kana spent the day with her niece and nephews, and James
came out to mom and me at the hotel. We
went to the Brother’s Café for breakfast and enjoyed pancakes with coffee.

| Pancakes, eggs and we think it was spam... |

Then we took the subway to the Senba center,
which was like an outlet center for clothing and other items. Crazy times
trying to keep me on task – which was to find a yukata, or casual kimono, for
Josie. Super excited when we finally
found just the right one. There was a
young boy outfit too, but it was too small for Peter. We’ll find something else for him later.

However mom found something for herself – a very
nice, comfy yukata for her to wear at home.
The lady at the store even demonstrated how to put it on for her. After
walking around quite a bit and exhausting ourselves, we headed back to Namba on
the subway for dinner.
The large
Takashimaya mall really has everything anyone could ever imagine needing;
including numerous dining options. We
headed to the Dining Maison floors – 7th, 8th, and 9th
floors. We decided on a dumpling style restaurant – where the food is wrapped in dough and steamed in a bamboo box. It was so good - we ordered so many different types - shrimp, pork, veggies.

| Yummy green stuff :) |

We headed back to the hotel (connected to the
mall), put some stuff down in the room, and then went out to find some sweet
snacks for later (chocolate craving). James headed back to
Yao shortly after, and we tried to get to sleep although I think both mom and I
ate too much!
