SWEET POTATO PIIIIEE (without the pie)

Sometime last week i took a walk to Nakano.
It's close to my town and the walk there can be quite nice and relaxing.
I was on a mission to find a Gloomy Bear for a friend at Broadway, the nerd-dirt-mall in Nakano, and possibly a vintage Booska for my collection, but i was unsuccessful.
Dammit.
I did however have a nice walk and an unexpected snack.

One of my favorite games to play when i wander the streets of Tokyo alone is "i live in THAT house" and the winning house that day was this old beauty in Koenji-kita
It even has a little display box out front, and two vending machines... win!
It wasn't like there weren't any Booska; it's just that they were all too expensive (as usual) or too big, like this guy
I was looking at this sign in the basement of Broadway when the proprietor of the shop starting talking to me in Japanese, and made me feel like i should be buying something... what the hell, i do like caramel source
He let me taste one of the ice creams, and i chose that without knowing that that one was actually a sweet potato ice cream... double the sweet potato? My friggin lucky day!

Today is Sunday and i have absolutely no plans, besides studying hiragana.
I feel like i should be doing something, though, but sometimes Tokyo can be a little much on Sundays.
Maybe it's ok to stay home once in a while, especially if you have two days of getting-up-early-as-shit-to-go-to-Yokohama to do, right?

Hope you all had, or are having, nice weekends wherever you are!
