My friends and I got a membership to this entertainment place so we can go do karaoke whenever we want. Karaoke in Japan is much more fun that it is in the US. You get a private room. Free drinks. Better song selections. (My personal favorites were Beyonce's Single Ladies song xD) And an all around better atmosphere. I've gone back two more times since. The entertainment club has a free manga rom where you can go and read. Billards. Darts. Video games. You can even spend the entire night there, which I think our group is planning to eventually.
Shopping on the other hand is a little give and take. I've mostly been doing window shopping. Clothes here are obviously too big for me and some other people in my group of friends. BUT, we found a single plus size store in the mall. But even then plus size in Japan doesn't mean bigger pants, just bigger dresses and shirts. Japanese women gain most of their fat in their torso and not their legs or butt xD The plus size store is called TYL, Teen Youth Large, and they have some pretty cute clothes. I've mostly been looking at purses and handbags.. which will be the death of me someday but I have refrained from any unnecessary purchases for now.
As for other types of stores, near the mall in Hirakata city is a store called Book Off, which sells used books, CD's, and DVD's. You can get manga for 100 yen, and childrens books for very cheap. I mention children's books because my level of reading is elementary school level. But I like that store and spend a good deal of time there.
