Annariina's October web post!
On Saturday (13.10.) my host sister I went to an event in Ryogoku, Tokyo. The event was held at one of the top floors of a shopping mall and was mostly about kimonos, but there were also jewelry, clothing, eyeglasses and other expensive products you could try and buy. When we arrived, my host sister’s grandmother was already there and gave us tickets so we could later on get obentou (lunch box) for lunch. Before eating we were looking some long sleeved kimonos and I was able to try one on.
I wanted to try one very beautiful black, with purple flowers and glittery stuff, but they didn’t have my size on that so I tried a white one instead. It was so pretty. Everyone was like “cute~ (*^^*)” and wanted to take pictures and such. (/ω＼)
Then we took a look around the whole place, I wish I would have had money to buy some beautiful diamond/pearl jewelry from there. None of us bought anything so we just went to have lunch, which was pretty good although I’m not such a fan of Japanese food or seafood in general.
After lunch we tried on kimonos one more time and my host sister actually bought the one she tried on. It was really pretty blue with some sort of scenery print on it. (^o^) I tried a red one, which I liked a lot – it just caught my attention. I wish I could have bought one, but maybe some other day.
