Japanese 'Wal-mart"

The pictures don't really do it justice, especially because I didn't take enough, but here are a few shots taken from where I (used to) buy anything that I might need and everything that I probably don't need (or you probably don't need- Ginny saw the dollar store and knows where I get the authentic Japanese souviners made in China) It is in a "convenient" location. So convenient that I can hear the elevator music they play in the parking lot/garage on a nice day when I open my window- I'm not complaining - I love Japan....(I say "used to", because I will be in my new apt. with completely different scenery tommorow.) Anyway, since I have spent so much time here, I'd like to share it with you... There is more- some other stores- I didn't take enough pics. but this should give you the idea...

Sendai METAL!!!

The other day the guys from my band and I (except Yuji) went to watch a local heavy metal show. While our band "Toppatsu" only plays rock-ish kinda stuff, we thought it would be fun to watch some hard core heavy metal to "relax" and enjoy music togother instead of writing it together (i.e. arguing about how a song should go...) Anywho, it turned out to be a very entertaining night. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.....
