I’m going to use a quote from the email that Mingaling sent me for this one. Thanks Mingaling! My comments are in bold and I spaced it out a bit for easier reading.

We went to Takashimaya for the first time, (at Namba Station/Namba Park area)had a look at all the food in the basement level. I bought those bunny shaped rice crackers.
We went to 3 Coins store (315 yen store) and small Muji.
We looked for that takoyaki restaurant but couldn’t find it and ended up having okonomiyaki instead. We had mochi and ice cream at that dessert place in the station.
I found that shop I loved where I got the cool put-together-like-lego plastic rings. We walked down Shinsaibashi again (we were looking for the Ghibli store I think? Yeah, I think so too. It was meant to be on the Namba Walk), I bought lots of stuff at the Urban Research store – we each got one of those bracelets that spells out the name of a flower. Actually I bought a ring that said Daisy for Cammy’s birthday present. A very cool store.
We had frozen yoghurt with all our fav toppings from Partyland for the first time – your one weighed a fair bit 🙂 Delicious!. We went back to the station and found that takoyaki place we were looking for at dinnertime and had some for dinner – takoyaki were much bigger than in NZ!
On the way back we came across that odd frog (was it?I think so.) shrine round the back of the stores in the station and we made a donation. Was it on this day that we started wondering where in the world the Namba walk was? I think we wondered were it was everyday! If I had only re-checked the guidebook and realized it was Underground, not undercover.
Mingaling forgot that this was the day I bought some Sylvanian Families. I didn’t get many, but sooooo cutes.
