“Today we are on our way to WDW but beforehand we made a detour to Santa Monica to visit D’s brother Tom. We were looking for things to do today so we went to the Japanese Village Plaza in Little Tokyo<\/a> in downtown Los Angeles. Many have probably never heard of the place. It is known for two things bean cakes <\/a>and Mochi ice cream<\/a>. Both are traditional Japanese desserts and were very good. When we first got there we ate at a Japanese Buffet\/Karaoke restauraunt. It was good, no one was singing but there was a Hawaiian girl with her Ukelele in there. After lunch we walked up and down the mall looking in all the Japanese import shops to work down our lunch. For dessert #1 we went to Mikawaya home of the Mochi ice cream. It is an interesting dessert made of a really chewy rice coating and inside they put ice cream. You eat it with your hands.<\/p>\n

We then went across the mall to get a bean cake pastry. Basically, hot bread goodness. To finish up we went into a Japanese Grocery store bought some pocky<\/a> and a japanese soda<\/a> (it is really hard to open one of those things).<\/p>\n

Later tonight we plan on going to the Los Angeles Airport for the first of several flights getting us eventually to Orlando.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
