Kuzuha Mall - Feb. 4 2007

Today I walked to the Kazuha mall to take a look if I could find an electronics store where I can buy a wireless router. As soon as I realized there was just the family computer and no wireless network, I thought that I would absolutely need a connection to my laptop so I can keep in touch with the folks back home but also continue this project. The neighborhood is calm and there is a certain charm that I can’t explain, but gives a nice feeling. Kazuha malls has nothing but clothing and especially American brands: nothing to my interest. I go in a 100 yen shop and end up buying some decks of cards and a little magic trick… (I use to be a pro magician). Besides a big clothing mall and a handy 100 yen shop, the neighborhood is home to the College of Dentists of Osaka. I decide to continue walking further to find an electronics store, and finally on KazuhaChuo avenue I find a Joushin, a big electronics shop and find the router. On my way back I buy some mochi (rice cake) since I think it is customary to bring something back when we go out to shop. Today is also the day the “router problem” starts.
