Street snacks @ Asakusa

Introducing one of my MUST EAT snacks whenever I'm at Senso-ji Shrine~ Its easy to find this stall~ It is the BEST street snack for me! I really love the Kinako powder and they are always so generous with it!!! This stall prefers their customer to eat at the side of the stall too. I guess its for safety reasons as the alley is pretty crowded and to avoid littering as well~ They also provide wet tissues for you. 

With my cute lil bro photo-bombing me lol!

Free & Easy day~

Woke up super early! Gonna go wholesale building today~ I went roaming around Asakusa for 'breakfast' along the streets, nibbles here n there from my favourite stalls~ Its gonna be a LONG browsing day for me! See what i did w my hair? Isnt it uber cool? Its acutally pink, but idk why my hp screen made it look orangey red @_@ I DIY it myself! Got the tubes of colour at my fav wholesale access building where there are OMG TONS of things to buy! Example hair products - all the tools, sprays, care, combs, scissors, whatever u can think of! There is also beauty products, toys, food, household, bags, endless list... They have it all at wholesale prices! I really love my card! Kisses it*

I also went for Omikuji while i was there. I can say i am very happy w mine! Shall keep it safely~
Those who wonder, i have taken these from Wikipedia what it is :
O-mikuji (御御籤, 御神籤, or おみくじ o-mikuji^[1]?) are random fortunes written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan. Literally "sacred lot", these are usually received by making a small offering (generally a five-yen coin as it is considered good luck) and randomly choosing one from a box, hoping for the resulting fortune to be good.

The o-mikuji is scrolled up or folded, and unrolling the piece of paper reveals the fortune written on it. It includes a general blessing which can be any one of the following:

• Great blessing (dai-kichi, 大吉)
• Middle blessing (chū-kichi, 中吉)
• Small blessing (shō-kichi, 小吉)
• Blessing (kichi, 吉)
• Half-blessing (han-kichi, 半吉)
• Future blessing (sue-kichi, 末吉)
• Future small blessing (sue-shō-kichi, 末小吉)
• Curse (kyō, 凶)
• Small curse (shō-kyō, 小凶)
• Half-curse (han-kyō, 半凶)
• Future curse (sue-kyō, 末凶)
• Great curse (dai-kyō, 大凶)

The o-mikuji predicts the person's chances of his or her hopes coming true, of finding a good match, or generally matters of health, fortune, life, etc. When the prediction is bad, it is a custom to fold up the strip of paper and attach it to a pine tree or a wall of metal wires alongside other bad fortunes in the temple or shrine grounds. A purported reason for this custom is a pun on the word for pine tree (松 matsu) and the verb 'to wait' (待つ matsu), the idea being that the bad luck will wait by the tree rather than attach itself to the bearer. In the event of the fortune being good, the bearer has two options: he or she can also tie it to the tree or wires so that the fortune has a greater effect or he or she can keep it for luck.
