Shopping in Yokohama
I went shopping with my friend Keigo in Yokohama because our parents would buy a bag as a graduation present... We went to Takashimaya because we were boring. We can't look for a nice bag.

We met a fucktard in the mall.--->

...A French bakery, windows spotted pink and red, full of patrons. They sit, eating their patisseries calmly surveying the carnage. Cultural shock offends the senses. Exactly what are these people thinking as they masticate?
