Central London (ChinaTown, Regent street, some other street i dont know the name of)

On saturday, me and my mum went to central London and bought looooaaads of cute Japanese stuff!!

First we went to the Japan Centre in Regent street. Let me just tell you, OHMYGOSH!!! When i grow up i want TO LIVE THERE!!! Seriously, it was just WOW. When you go inside, its like a small resturaunt with a bar on the right side, and on the left side is a place where you can just pick up boxes of sushi, sashimi and nigiri. Salmon for me! Uber yummy. But i'm sooo stoopid, i forgot to bring my didgi camera to take pics!! T_T Anywhoo ( i love that word!) (and did i spell it right?), when you keep on walking straight there's a mini japanese supermarket with all sorts of delicious goodness!
I bought Apple Pocky, and let me tell you, it wasnt that great. The taste was average, nothing that would blow your tastebuds away, but the smell, UGH! Ok, it wasn't that 'UGH', but it wasn't pleasent. 20% of it smelt like apples, and the other 80%...i don't even wanna know. I would give Apple Pocky a 3.5 outta 5 stars, simply because the taste was ordinary, and it didnt smell very nice.


  Next thing i bought was this 'Soda Gummy Candy' and as soon as i put it in my mouth, it felt like my teeth were about to fall out. It was that sweet. The taste was reeeaaaally nice, but i couldn't eat anything afterwards without my teech hurting. Maybe my teeth are just really sensitive? I should start using sensodyne toothpaste.



Then i bought this 'Ribbon Citron' lemonade. It tasted better than normal lemonade! Much sweeter. I especially loved the packaging, that's the main reason i bought it. I'm a sucker for cute packaging.
Then we went to Artbox, a shop that sell super cute stationary, toys, clothes, stuff like that. Because i care about the environment, i bought two eco-message changing stickers. The picture shows what two designs one sticker has when you move it.




This sticker say's 'stop global warming' then when you move it it say's 'save polarbear!'  Cute.

I got a SUUUUPER kawaii sewing set! ^^ It is sooo small, and the scissors are tiny! I will definately start sewing because of this! ( why is the word 'sewing' spelt with in 'e' but pronounced 'sowing'???)
Finally, we went to ChinaTown, and if you go into this really tiny place there (great discription, huh?) there are literally MILLIONS of sanrio, san-x, gloomy bear, studio Ghibli, domo-kun stuff there! And LOADS more kawaii things. I spent about half an hour there,and it's really small. While i was rummaging through unbelievably cute sticker sets, i came across this dusty box at the bottom of the stall, filled with a few sewing kits like in the picture above. OF COURSE i had to buy one, what with my new mini-kawaii sewing kit and all.It came with different coloured felt, a needle, thread and cotton stuffing. And it was so cheap! I will post my fnished product soon!
