Sunday was a Thai festival in which many people Thai-ed one on.
Not me though, I only had one Singha beer to go with lunch. I found the food to be tasty though rather bland.
(A disturbing aside. After the fest, I went home and crashed for five hours and didn't eat until lunch the next day. Today, I had tummy troubles all day. Perhaps, Thai food is not for me.)
Cool veggie carving.
Stinky Durian. A friend gave me a bite and I didn't really like it. I mixed it with Earl Gray Tea and it was much more delicious. I was so thirsty I had a Pitcher of Durian Gray!*
*Kudos to Alex for the pun.
One vendor had these very nifty metal models of our favourite characters.
A tad pricey though.
The Predator was only 100 bucks yet the Yoda would set you back 350!
Not much else happening at the fest so I wandered around downtown and popped into Loft.
Woohoo! I managed to show up in time for the end of the Ultraman World tour. Lots and lots of overpriced goodies for sale!
Such as... notepads and masking tapes*,
mugs/cups,
pins and stickers,
booze*,
figures,
hand towels*,
pens,
ties and cologne,
bags,
apparel,
and mini-plates.
I bought one of the hand towels designed by Shinzi Katoh
and
two of the masking tapes with which I got a free sticker with my purchase.
This very cool bag came with...
the two bottles of Sake that I purchased.
I like how the Kaiju play a part in the production of the rice wine as shown on the box.
I have a friend whose birthday is forthcoming. This will be a nice gift.
Finally, here is a giant plush Ultraman that I snagged at UFO Catcher the other day. He'll be hanging from my ceiling!
