Fabrics at Yuzawaya

The day started with a short train ride South West, stopping at Kamata Station. I went in search of Yuzawaya - the big fabric store! A little man at the station figured I was lost so he spoke some broken English to me and lead me down the garden path... I followed for about 15mins and then realised he had less idea than I did so I politely parted company and picked a few randoms to ask for directions - all gave me conflicting information! In the end I was in a craft store and the lady informed me that Yuzawaya was 5 buildings and the fabric building was just around the corner from McDonald's... of course! I made a few small purchase - great variety!!!

I then went one stop further to Kawasaki - great shopping mall! Bought Baby Hinchcliffe's (x2) a little pressie from the GAP... now I need to figure out the postal system...damn! I seem to end up in GAP and Banana Republic wherever I go :) 

In the afternoon, Kept Ninja and I trekked to the Dydo Ice Arena for an ice hockey match... Oji Eagles Versus the Cranes... see Ninja's blog for details!
