Unemployment: day 39
Today our spouse visited around Asakusa. The main purpose was buying a bag that my wife would like to see in parson. We arrived at the bag shop when it just opened. There were many kind of bag designs so she enjoyed selecting what she liked. Next we visited at a bakery. It was old shop and really famous as piking up on TV. Finally we had a ramen for lunch. The ramen shop was found via Google Map. The shop’s main dish was Tangtang-men, so we both ordered Tangtang-men but chosen different taste. Both of tastes were really good each of them. We got gratified about our lunch.

Both tasted really good, and we were very satisfied with our lunch.
