Osu (Again and forevermore)

Today I went to Osu (yes again) with E san.  We started off with the usual routine and went to the Nova building to check out the lolita stores.  Once we had assessed the stores wares, it was off in search of our main goal: a cat cafe.

Needless to say, it was hard to find but in the end we did find it.  Honestly this was a bit disappointing.  It was 700 yen for 3o minutes (and you get a drink) and you go into this small room off to the side of an even smaller reception area.

There were 5 or 6 cats and it was awkward because you had to share the room with other people.  Ugh.  Anyway have some pics.

Most of the cats here were unfriendly (no surprise there)

This guy was very handsome indeed.


After 30 minutes of this nonsense it was time to eat, and since E san and I both like udon (noodles) we decided to eat some.  This udon made up for the cat cafe.  (tempura udon *Q*)

It was in the noodle shop were this woman started a conversation with us and you know we were talking about being exchange students and I think she said her daughter had done it too or something like that.  But anyway, what really made this epic was when she gave us 1,000 yen to pay for our food.  Of course we refused but she insisted and said to "study hard." lol

Then we just kind of walked around for a bit longer, I showed her this other store and then stopped by for a snack.  It's a fruit crepe. OMNOMNOM

And for the last part of the trip I introduced her to this store called Loft.  Loft has about 5 or 6 floors each containing various things.  For example, the basement has books, the 3rd has interior, etc., etc.,  Personally I had only been on the 4th floor with all the stationary and I was all for exploring the other floors.  

The 5th floor was amazing. So many cute things.


Their selection of Studio Ghibli merchandise was really cool.  I'll have to come back for the mug with the cat (his name is Jiji) on it. :D


Next up is Sentimental circus, which is a series of characters created by a company called San-X


And last but not least Rilakkuma <3
