Here's a board game that I'm sure many American girls have played, but maybe not so many of the boys. It's called Pretty Pretty Princess. In the game, you travel around a board with pictures of jewelry. When you land on a place with a picture of a piece of jewelry, you can take that piece from the jewel box in the middle of the board. Your goal is to collect all the pieces of jewelry in your color, as well as the crown. There's only one crown, so whoever lands on the space with the crown steals it from whoever had the crown before! There's also one black ring. If you have the black ring, you can't win until you get rid of it. When you win, you look at the mirror on the jewel box lid and announce that you are the pretty pretty princess!



It's not a very educational game. But as a little girl, it's very fun! Have you ever played something like this before?  

I've been hearing a long time that tourist places such as Osaka and Tokyo are very crowded with tourists. I thought I knew what to expect when it came to the trains and the flow of people while walking. But last weekend I was woefully unprepared for how difficult it would be to get a bite to eat.
I left my home very early in the morning with the intention of having breakfast at a restaurant. It's not often that I can eat something different, expensive or fancy.
Unfortunately for me, every single restaurant I encountered in the station or the mall had long wait lines. Sunshine City Mall was particularly a problem because their restaurants are not all in one place and I didn't really have time to get lost. I was dreaming of Korean fried chicken or tacos but in reality I was just trying to find a place where I could eat and get out in less than an hour. That didn't seem possible!

In the end, I sadly got some food out of the convenience store. Monday ended up being a much better day, and I did enjoy some eggs benedict.   

Most people know that I love PAC-MAN and this is no exception to the person who manages to always find something PAC-MAN related for me and this is all spontaneous. They had the chance to travel to Fukuoka for an event and they came back with a treat and an awesome toy. On top of of that, they managed to find an old school Ms. PAC-MAN umbrella that I've never seen before. I think they're enabling my PAC-MAN addiction lol.
