Miscellaneous Marvels at Marukai

It was a cold, rainy Sunday night of November 6, 2011. In that case, my family and I decided to go to Marukai for shabu shabu (hot pot dinner) shopping spree!

While we were at Marukai of West Covina, I went on a little adventure and explored all around the interesting Japanese cultured market. I found some fascinating marvels, such as the mini Japanese DVD store (which happened to be filled with Japanese romantic dramas). The prices of DVDs were equivalent to 5 U.S. dollars(or 386 Japanese yen).
In addition to unique stacks of Japanese DVDs, there were cute toys! These toys can be used as practical tools as well. One notable toy/tool is a Jack & Friends animal blanket. It is a blanket that could be a panda plush toy. Then it would transform into a cuddly baby blanket when you roll it out!
There were also many neat Japanese snacks, toys, and realistic food-like erasers on a convenient shelf, which is similar to a gum shelf at a check-out line.
Within a sea of beer bottles, there emerged two giant kegs of Japanese sake sailing on a boat!
