Very busy day today, and yesterday. Wakana and I calculated that we went to 11 different places today. I bought a part for the bicycle and we got a shoe cabinet. For those who are not familiar with Asian lifestyle it is frowned on to wear your outdoor shoes in the house. They have a "shoe-off" place next to the door where you can change into your indoor slippers or whatever. The outdoor shoes go into a cabinet. We found a nice wicker work cabinet at Marianas Handicrafts up in Tamuning. It was only $30 and should do the job.

We also visited China Arts, a shop I have wanted to explore since I got here. Unfortunately I only remember that when I am on my way home and not interested in stiopping or when it is closed. What a neat shop. It's full of exotic Asian furniture, mostly Chinese, and Persian carpets and delicate China, and stamping materials and... Let's just say, it's full.

Now we are tired and ready for a break but we have a whole lot of presents to wrap so we can get the box in the mail. It's a long way to Maine from here.
