Just another weekend

So cleaning has been coming along slowly... But it has made progress I just need to wrap it up soon...

On Thursday I hung out with Kimiyo again. Maisoue also came we went to an Italian Resturant called Cannery Row. I loved it, it was very good but again the Japanese don't drink a lot with their meal. I tried at least everything and the pasta portions were so large I could not finish mine.

You were also allowed to get Salad and kinda appetizer things. Kimiyo always wants us to eat a lot even if we are full. She also thinks I like Shrimp so she gave me all of hers... Now the little unshelled shrimp made me gag like normal... I dunno why! I hadn't had that reaction in so long. But the one still in the shell that I had to peel I was able to eat. Maisoue said it was cause of the moisture. I kinda believe her.

We later went shopping at the Department Store she also bought us sweets since the fruit shop was too crowded to go to. I bought a nice dress and then some matching shoes and rose hair pins. I'm going to wear it sometime and have Maisoue take a picture. I really want to do something nice for Kimiyo... any ideas?

Also-

Really I have a problem with my camera.

After Himeji something got stuck on the inner lens now it is in all my pictures and it is awfully annoying. So I asked Kodak what I can do and they said I had to get the receipt then send it to America for repair... and they didn't know if they could do it.

Just my luck getting ready to go to Tokyo and Magome/Tsumago and I have no Camera!!! AGH! What will I do??!

I could buy a new one but Im not sure if I should...
