A day spent at the flea market/swap meet and our night of dinner and a movie. : )



We had plans today, like I mentioned in a previous post. So what we did was, we got up bright and early and got dressed and headed to Costco. We were meeting one of Noboru's co-worker's and his coworker's wife and son. We went to Costco, because we had planned to order one of those gigantic whole baked pizzas for lunch. And then after we ate we headed to the Flea Market that was being held right near Costco in Makuhari Messe! So we did just that! We met at Costco at 11:00 am. We didn't really go to Costco to buy much since we were just using that as a meeting spot and lunch spot! But we did buy a case of soda and a big huge box of laundry detergent and a case of toilet paper, that's all we bought and you betcha, we purposely didn't buy anything that would rot, get funky or otherwise go putrid in the car, while we spent the day at the flea market/swap meet ha ha ha, so we didn't buy any food at all.

The flea market was cool! It was my first time going to the one in Makuhari, I was impressed and will come back for sure!


After a super fun day well spent in the big city, with all the super heavy traffic and whatnot, it was more then time for us to head back home. So we drove ourselves back to the serenity of the burbs. However by this time, we weren't really wanting to cook dinner at home. So we instead drove to the video store and rented ourselves two new DVD's. We rented Meet the Focker's (my god this name just kill's me and the main character's name is hilarious too, Gaylord Focker, AKA Gay Focker! LOL!) and a new Japanese anime by the same guy who made My neighbor Totoro. I forgot what the name of the new movie, we just rented was though, sorry. Then we went through the drive-thru of KFC and got a nice family 8 piece meal. Our family of four, ate KFC,then we got ourselves all washed up and our clothes changed and watched our two movies! Meet the Focker's was hilarious! And the other one was *so* good too! All in all, we had a very nice Friday! : )

Added info: the movie in question was called "Howl's Moving Castle" This really is a must see! It really was a good one! : )
