When we first got to Japan, all our friends raved about the 100 yen store. (100 yen is roughly equivalent to one dollar.) I thought it would be cheap like an American dollar store, but boy was I wrong. Dollar stores are usually full of trinkets and stuff that breaks as soon as you get home. However, the 100 yen store is GREAT! My favorite 100 yen store is in Machida which is two train stops from our house. We went last weekend to look for Scott a new magic wallet (more about that later), mini ice-cube trays, and just to see what new treasures we could find. Scott found a magic claw. He likes to chase Connor around and grab her tail with it. The other night, he was playing with it and I challenged him to tie a bow on my pajama pants with it. I thought he wouldn't be able to do it, but I was wrong...
