Random Japan #71 :: An Evening with Mini-Legos

in randomjapan •  6 years ago 

Hello, wonderful and amazing readers, and welcome to your favorite look at all things random in the land of the rising sun, Random Japan!

Today, a relaxing evening.

Ready to see what I’m talking about? Great! Let’s get started. Let’s enter into…

Random Japan!

These past few weeks have been busy and stressful, with little in the way of free time and much in the way of stress. So lately my evening routine has been a quick drink and then sleep. Tonight, however, I had a bit more time than I have had lately, so I stopped into the local Daiso, a ¥100 shop, and picked up one of these mini lego sets they have recently started carrying. I figured that would make a relaxing thing to put together before bed.

Drink, snack, and legos

The drink is a cheap low-malt beer, about on par with Budweiser. Not great, but not bad. The snack is one of the better snacks available in Japanese convenience stores. Most are too sweet but this one is less so.

Most mini-lego sets at regular department stores are quite expensive. I’m not sure what Daiso is doing to get it down to ¥100, but no complaints. This one claims to be level 3, the hardest level available.

End result

Pretty simplistic. But I suppose that is why it is only ¥100. It took about 15 minutes to put together. I enjoyed making it, so maybe I’ll pick up another of these sometime and make a video of myself putting it together.

And that’s all. I’m off to bed now. Hope all of you are having a good one :)


That’s all, folks. Thank you for staying with me through today’s exploration. Any favorites? Let me know in the comments. And me sure to turn in next time when, if providence allows, I shall return for another Random Japan. See you then!

There is something so satisfying as putting together a lego set or completing any project!

That must be it—just the simple feeling of satisfaction of completing any project, even a simple one.
