Motomachi Street Shopping

I went shopping today for a gift for the teacher's gift exchange while we were on our trip to Kobe and Osaka. I decided to go to Motomachi since that's the only place I know of to go shopping. Unfortunately it's a tad bit on the expensive side. But I went anyways. I kind of knew exactly what I wanted to get. I don't think anyone would hate it if they got Chocolate. Since there are about 50 teachers going on this trip and 40 of them are females. But just in case the person I was going to exchange was a male, I wouldn't think they would mind.

So there were two places that I wanted to check out on Motomachi street. One was Sees Candies, which just opened probably 2 months ago. I had noticed it last time I was walking down the street. Since that's the ONLY store that I know of in Japan, I think it would be good that none of the teachers have ever had one before. The other store was Godiva also in the same area. It took a little while before I decided which one I wanted to get. I decided to go with Godiva since it has a better name and offered more for the price I was going to pay. I didn't think it was such a bad gift, since it would have been nice to get it myself. In fact, I've never had Godiva chocolate before. So I can't really comment on the quality.

Then I went walking around and found a Gap. They've got sales going on and I bought a sweater. I think I will go back before Christmas passes to get some more clothes. I took a look in my closet and realized that I don't have many casual clothes for winter. Just clothes for work. But since I'll have the next few weeks off I would probably need to get some causual clothes so I could hang out with my friends and not be wearing a suit. The prices are about the same as in San Diego, during this time of the year, so that's good for me since things tend to run on the more expensive side in Japan.

After that I went home to package my gift and pack for the trip tomorrow.
