After the exposure to the culture of a temple built in 1167 it was time to experience some iconic modern day Japanese culture – the Kyoto Pok\u00e9mon Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids spent over an hour and a half in the Pok\u00e9mon store, which was packed with people trying to catch some exclusive merchandise only sold in the Pokemon stores in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aubrey and I explored the shopping street and scoped out our dinner options. Shopping here is a bit of a tease for two reasons: 1) I only brought a carry on bag and I have zero room to bring anything home, although we did bring a small bag to check if necessary, but 2) I am also trying to purge things from my house, and not acquire new things. I have enjoyed window shopping though – so many cool things\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings me to a highlight: introducing Mae, Noam, Zev and Teva to Kaiten Sushi (conveyor belt sushi). Noam, Zev, Teva and Mae managed to polish off an impressive 50 plates, while Aubrey, Erez, Kerrie and I only finished 36. it worked out to an average of $40\/ per person and we were able to try interesting options we would never see at home. Delicious! Instead of explaining it, I will include some visuals to convey the 1000 words I could use to describe this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
