Put your block over there. I'm putting this one here.

We did a ton this weekend so we’re taking it easy and mostly resting. Just like Aunt Esther’s right eye, today will be lazy.

Day Nine: Slept in a bit, but we’re starting today strong with brunch at the Square Enix Cafe, Artnia.

I’ve been a big fan of their video games so this was all very exciting.

Square Enix created many classic japanese games that later became international hits. Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy 2, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4 - you get the idea. Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy X-3 The Last Stand, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy 12, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy XVII, etc.

Awesome place, gift store in the front, cafe in the back, just like the Titanic. Bunch Menu had a brunch of Final Fantasy themed dishes. We ordered:

Smoked Salmon Salad, lightly dressed assorted greens, baguette slices, freshly shaved onion, daikon a la mode, fork and spoon. Excellent texture, salmon cooked perfectly, brilliant flavour.

Wasn’t mine though. Nina ordered it, so no idea if it was good or not. 7/10

Shrimp and Spinach Pizza on Puffed Pastry, mozzarella cheese, tomato basil sauce.

Pretty good.

Haha, anyway, satisfying experience overall. Next up, Akihabara for toys and Yakiniku!

Oh, here’s a travel tip. Airplane seats don’t have a lot of room to move, so having your wallet or phone in your pants/skirt is real problems when you need to retrieve them. I like to keep stuff like gum, passports or even coins in my socks. That way if someone asks me for a stick of gum, I can get it quick and easy.

Comment below if you know any cool travel tips! Or any easy/quick halloween recipes, or advice for nervous first-time drivers.

Throw it in the comments : )

Yodobashi Camera is a giant department store, sort of like a Japanese Best Buy. Much bigger, something like 11 floors. We were toy hunting on 6F today for Animal Crossing merchandise.

Picture with Godzilla! It's been decades since the attacks so they're more light-hearted about him now.

We had a great time and worked up an appetite for dinner! I’ll put the picture we took here.

We got to personally select the cut of beef for the head chef

Then we did laundry after. So that was our day, pretty good stuff!

See you guys tomorrow!

I've been getting emails from you guys about how I keep my coffee from getting cold in the morning. I like to place a book on top of the cup when I'm not drinking from it, that way it stays nice and warm. It's that simple, you dumb dumb!

I’ve been getting emails from you guys about how to keep your coffee from getting cold in the morning, while eating breakfast, or getting dressed, that kind of thing. I like to place a book on top of the cup when I’m not drinking from it, that way it stays nice and warm. It’s that simple, you weirdo!
