good job everyone.
you guys will be talked about by my dear mother for long long time!

my dream came true in this trip.
my long time search for perfect mimikaki (bamboo ear cleaner)
was found at sugamo.
made by this guy.
he has been making mimikaki for over 10 years.

he asked me to show both of my ears
and told me everything about my ear
by just looking at it!

and this is what i got.
dear mother, i spent $28 on this mimikaki.
most expensive mimikaki ever!
it has wide scoop and small scoop. both end.
bamboo is from kyoto.
soft touch, yet very satisfied.
made just for me...

taking about spending money,
i thought of buying this square glasses...
but did not.

but i did buy new camera, because my luna (old camera) broke!
sorry for dropping you on the floor so hard...

and this is my new camera, milky way!
i will take care of you!
