I will have to come along and try some! I've been meaning to mention, for Auckland macaron-lovers who might stumble on this post, that I've also found them at Phillipe's Chocolate, 293 Great North Rd. I still haven't got around to trying my hand at making some myself - one day :) @Sonia Thank you! I will have to come along and try some!

I love that he's just a furry oval! And he hangs out with a llama, so cool. @hillary We’re loving the Suica cards for the trains and subways – charge them up, then just swipe at each ticket barrier, plus they have a cute penguin on them :) So easy.

Those are my two favorite stores in Tokyo...so funny that you mention them. I loved Shibuya. If you need a public bathroom while you're there, go into the big department store (it will be full of giggling girls in school uniforms). PS -- best tip for navigating the subway system if you don't speak Japanese: buy the cheapest ticket and then use the fare adjustment machine at your arrival station (it speaks English). :) Loft!
