Spent most of the day shopping.

First we went into a ?100 shop. Different from US dollar shops, they sell amazing varieties of products, from kitchen gadgets to stationeries. It reminds me of going shopping in Vietnam, Malaysia, India, or China.

Then, we went to “Mujirushi” (no-brand brand) store. Japanese loves brands for everything, and this store successfully sells “no-brand brands.” I bought a few stationary items.

After browsing “Tokyu hands” store and Tobu department store, I had my hair cut at a cheap barber.

Poor Mark! He cannot work on his research while I am here.
