Green men at Harajuku

I love Daiso!! Its 108 yen ( not 100 yen ) so with the exchange rate of 120 yen per 1US$ – it comes out to P 40.00.  And not only is it cheap but they have so many trinkets and unique things!!! LOVE!! I could just shop here everyday while in Tokyo 🙂 Plastics and ziplock in all sizes and colors with designs! I hoard!! WASHI TAPE!!! This is a new section!!Takoyaki balls with cheese sauce at Omotesando

Iggy, Cholet and kids at Church!  There were around 8 or more Filipino families at church – so you can imagine the number of Filipinos in Tokyo/Japan during the holidays

In Isetan Dept. store.  I am not sure if it is just an artwork or it was for sale

Pretty in Pink 🙂  at the Metro.  Japanese like the color pink – maybe I am Japanese! haha

More pink outfits at Harajuku Takeshita street
