Bento For Lunch And A Trip To Kasukabe

After our trip to the museum, we decided to head to Kasukabe in Saitama. Any Crayon Shin-Chan fans would know that Kasukabe is where the anime is set in and Shin-chan's creator, Yoshito Usui also lived in Kasukabe.A brightly coloured monorail plying the route to get to the Railway Museum and Omiya Station.

My lunch for the day - a bento bought from a nearby konbini. Delicious! Both Raimi and I had our lunch at the bus stop outside Omiya station. We were so hungry that we couldn't wait any longer and scoffed our food in a matter of minutes! Well, actually it was me who nearly had a meltdown due to hunger. Haha

Raimie had onigiri. He does love his onigiris, which is a rice ball. A great on-the-go snack.

At Kasukabe station. We went around the nearby area to sightsee. No, there's no Shin-Chan statues or whatnot to be seen anywhere, if anyone is wondering or looking, except for the odd Shin-Chan ad like the photo above.

We found an Ito-Yokado branch here and I went on a shopping spree. It's funny that for the past few years, whenever we went to Ito Yokado, I always ended up buying Hello Kitty undies. Can't find them during this visit even though Zaini wanted to buy some for my birthday. Pity...

We found some bargains for Raimie - Kamen Rider and Shinkenja t-shirts at a low price there. Just 300yen for a Kamen Rider t-shirt! We even got some souvenirs to bring back home cheap here, which some of you reading might have gotten them already by now.
