Even small trips can turn into major outings

Even small trips can turn into major outings. We went to the end of the train line, Ikebukuro, to buy a computer printer...

We weren't really lost as soon as we got off the train, we just didn't know which way to go and there were lots of people.

Ok, now we are lost!

We're lost, but at least we bumped into a huge, pink, multi-story Hello Kitty store.

I guess we won't starve, but, wait a minute: this food is fake!!! (fake display food is a high art form here)

We could always use a Keitai (cell phone) but we don't have one and this one seems a little large to be practical.

If we had more time we could see a movie I guess, though probably not this one.

Don't ask -- because I have no idea why there is a zebra butt sticking out of this building.

Exhausted, but with a new printer, we head home on the train. We actually got seats this time!

Back home we relax by playing with our pet pineapple and tending the garden.
