Shopping

I went shopping today for a kind of chest-strap for my backpack for running. I went to the big Mizuno shop - it was pretty cool. I found out they have a shower room and lockers in the bottom of the shop that anybody can use, and also there are (paid) bike parks near by - if only it was 15 minutes closer to work. Alas, it's a bit too far out of my way to be worthwhile. They do offer some sort of group night runs at a nearby park which I might go along to though.

One thing I like about Japanese shops is that they tend to sell not only the base products, but also all of the components that you can use to customize your own products. So, for example, the Mizuno shop sold not only backpacks, but also all of the straps, clips, buttons, elastic and other things that you'd never even think of that you would need to make or customize your own backpack.

By the way, I started using my girlfriend's very expensive camera, but using aperture priority always leaves the shots very white-washed. Is it just that the aperture setting is too low or something, does anybody know?!
