SATURDAY, MAY 25
Today, we went to La La Port, a huge shopping mall complex just outside Kashiwa.
When my cousin Hiromi came to visit us in 2002, she was amazed at the size of Peachtree Mall. We told her that it was a relatively small mall.
Even six years ago, malls as we know them were not so prevalent in Japan.
Now, they are everywhere, including La La Port.
It's three stories high, and is circular. The third floor features a food court and sit-down restaurants. You walk around the food court which is in the inner circle. I can't remember how many restaurants are in that food court, but if you can't find something to eat there, you're a really picky eater.
We had a great time eating during this trip. And we really liked La La Port.
We just didn't have a lot of time to shop because we had a schedule to keep.
This first weekend was probably our easiest one where we really weren't on a real schedule.
That picked up on Sunday.
About Me
- Sandra Okamoto
- I was born in Tokyo, Japan, in the Tokyo Army hospital. My father was in the U.S. Army and stationed in Tokyo where he met my mother. Like many Army "brats," I went to a number of schools before graduating from high school. In my case, I graduated from Columbus High School when we got transferred from Okinawa to Fort Benning my senior year. I then went to Columbus College, which is now Columbus State University. I graduated in 1975 with a degree in political science, and I've been working at the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer since I graduated. I tell people I have the best job in town.
