It's a little dated but here are some of the pictures from my fun day in Boston with my good friends Ira and Shannon. We spent the day roaming Boston. The Isabella Stewart Gardner museum was amazing as always. But totally overwhelming! Ira was way more patient then Shannon and I. We were all about chatting on the benches overlooking the beautiful courtyard. If you're in Boston check it out. It right by the MFA. Afterwards we roamed around Harvard Square, got the best hot chocolate and pretended to shop with my imaginary money. We capped the night with Ethiopian food ( I always love checking one more nationalities food off my list).BUT on the walk home we ran in to one of my Boston must go to places! The Porter Exchange is a mini mall of all Japanese restaurants and stores. As you walk through this maze you never know what you'll find. The have ramen shops, sushi bars, bubble teas and sweet shops. I love it.
Almost as much as I love foreign grocery stores!!! Above are some of our favorite finds.
Ever wonder how chic Asian boys roaming around NY get those straight out of an anime flick hair? Well see above. And they really are straight out of anime flick. No real models!! Actual anime illustrations! That's more faith then I think I could put drawing.
Ira's favorite was the freeze dried Japanese "Vermont curry"...because he's from Vermont and pretty sure that they don't have freeze dried curry there.
And the best is last. Not because of the picture but because of what that little hair product bottle says on it. "Mandom" is apparently for all your "man" hair needs. But ever better is what it says below that-
"Everyone loves a lover. Every one loves Mandom. Man o'man that's a Mandom!"
Uhm... what? Makes no sense what so ever. Did we laugh until I cried? You betcha.
The cherry on the cake? It was Anime Con in Boston that weekend. The whole mall was flooded with anime geeks in all their costumes glory. And yes. I did go a little link crazy with this post.
