东京之旅 （三）：”Kawaii” 的东东

1. NAIL ART

平日的我对nail art 不是很感兴趣，可是到了东京，不难被环境影响。看到店里卖那么多 nail art 的玩意儿，我情不自禁也买回酒店玩一玩。我的朋友还帮我画右手，结果搞到她自己也想留长指甲。看看完成的作品如何？

There are just too many “kawaii” stuff in Tokyo, which is very much to my liking. Although I’m not a very nail art sort of person, seeing all the nail polish and nail stickers in the shops make it so hard for me to not want to do something to my own. Besides, it’s quite rare that I actually manage to keep such long nails, so I bought some nail colour, nail stickers and did a little DIY in the hotel room, with my friend’s help. Check it out!

指甲漂漂亮亮，很开心！嘿，难得留了那么长的指甲，不画一画好象很浪费哦！

We’re both pretty proud of what we did!

2. CREATIVE STALL DISPLAY

连店外都有可爱的装饰!

3. YUMMY-LOOKING MEDICINE

这是我朋友在当地买的药。一天吃三次，在加上我拼命的喝水和维他命C，两天就病好了。

Medication from the local pharmacy for my nose/throat infection. I like the packaging because it doesn’t look like some boring pill.

4. DISNEY LABEL MAKER

我们秋葉原 （Akihabara）的 Yodobashi Camera 逛，发现一台小型的 label maker。它所有的指示都是日文，可是我的朋友似模似样的乱按，竟然还能印出这个label！

Akihabara is best known for the Electric Town, which we didn’t visit. Instead, we went to this place called Yodobashi Camera, which is about 7 floors of goods ranging from mobile phones, to PCs, to cameras, to audio visual equipment and gaming devices. I came across a Disney label maker and was completely fascinated by it. The display set is actually in working order, but because everything was in Japanese, it wasn’t that easy to do a print-out, but my friend was very good at guessing and managed to make a sample of it with English words!

5. GOOD-LOOKING FOOD

我们在东京地铁站看到这可爱的食品，那间小店又很多人在排，我们也凑热。结果看起来好看，但是不太适合我们的胃口。

We had no idea what this was when we bought it from the Tokyo station, just cos’ it looks pretty! The taste, umm…let’s just say we’re not used to it.

6. PUPPIES!!

你们一定要去LOFT。朋友解释它有点象MUJI的概念。我们去的是池袋 （Ikebukuro）的那间。它是两层楼的，在Seibu百货公司的九和十楼。我们只逛九楼，没时间上十楼（卖家具用品），真可惜。单单九楼那一层就很多东西买，应有尽有，而且价钱好像便宜些。除了吃的，用的，还有小狗宠物。

These puppies were being sold at LOFT which is located on the 9th and 10th floor of Seibu shopping centre at Ikebukuro station. There’re also plenty of make-up, toiletries, stationary, food etc etc sold at LOFT. We didn’t have time to shop at the 10th floor, which is where you can purchase household items, pretty much like MUJI I heard. Aren’t these puppies cute?

7. FAKE PUPPY

真狗可爱，假狗也不差嘛！

8. DS LITE!!

浅蓝色的DS Lite！！在 Yodobashi Camera，我还看到红色的！

DS Lite seemed more popular in Tokyo than PSP, no proven statistics, except that I spotted more train commuters, both men and women, playing on it. Kawaii neh!
