We live just a short 30 minute ride north of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge - and yes it is even more spectacular in person. Often we go for quick jaunts into SF, which is what we did yesterday.

At Japantown there is this place called PikaPika where they have dozens of photo booths. Each photo booth is different and offers different styles of pics. Once you take eight differentky themed pictures you can edit each one with stars, crowns, just all sorts of funny stuff. Here are our pics! For only $5 it's worth it!
No trip to Japantwon is complete without Sushi and a visit to our favourite shop, Ichibankan. Ichibankan is the most amazing shopped filled with just about everything. I love all of the funny logos and the style of their packaging. See the cookies shaped as mushrooms? Not only are they adorable but they are tasty too!
These are Max's favourites, little erasers that come in the shape of Pandas to Sushi
If you ever go to San Francisco be sure to visit Japantown. It is a lot slower paced than Chinatown but Parking is a LOT easier and the culture is amazing. They have done a wonderful job of telling visitors about the Japanes Culture in San Francisco, past to present through visual displays dotted all around the area.
Have a great week!
I didn't realize you were so close to San Francisco! My very favorite place in the world is Monterey, and we've been there twice in the past 2 years. The next time we go there, we'll have to try to meet up with you. :)
ReplyDeleteThis all makes me a bit homesick. I went to college in SF and stayed for 10 years after that, then moved to Marin before landing in the UK with a Brit husband. You are so lucky to be where you are, I relished it while there and relish visits back - one of the most beautiful place on earth!
ReplyDeleteThose godzilla photos are HILARIOUS! Still laughing! What a great place to live!
