Japan: Day 09 & 10: Shopping for more loot!
Another train ride, this time Hiroshima straight to Tokyo, which took half a day… but, for the rest of the day and the day after that, nothing but, shopping, shopping, shopping!
It took quite a bit of willpower to hold out till the end of the trip to go nuts and buy everything Macross related I saw, but it was definitely worth it considering how many really good rare things I got for a good price (when comparing it to buying them online).
On day 9 and the start of day 10 I went hunting for more Macross loot, though the rest of day 10 was my mother’s time to go shopping which involved a lot of department stores of clothes and handbags and stuff… and me listening to music through all of it. My dad didn’t have anything to buy in particular, though I guess he did buy all of those bottles of whiskey which he drank every day, so that’s his thing.
So here’s the breakdown of all of the stuff I got…
- Bandai DX Chogokin – Macross Frontier – 1/60th scale RVF-25 Luca Angeloni custom
