We went to the Mililani Shopping Mall for lunch with Kim's brother and his daughter for some excellent korean bbq food.
The place is not too big, just enough seat for 30 or so people, but the service is fast and the food is good too.

Kim has a customer in Hawaii and I am accompanying her as excess baggage.
We will post on good places to eat, great tourist spots and maybe we will look for some comic stores.
Next stop, Hawaii
We have popcorn, pretzels, tea and we are ready for the movie to start.
So far we are the only ones with Ghibli related aparel. As you can see Kim is sporting her official Miyazaki Club t-shirt.

We could not leave this city without visiting the Little Tokyo of San Francisco, Japantown.
This is a dangerous place, not to your health, but to your wallet.
This place has a two story Kinokuniya store with a great selection of manga, books and magazines in both English and Japanese (of course).
This place has stores for toys, collectibles, house wares, DVDs, clothing and food; lots and lots of food.
You can easily spend a whole afternoon in this place; and your savings...

Japantown Collectibles is located inside the Japantown Mall.
What it lacks in comics and books, it compensates in toys, figurines, models and rare finds.
For the untrained eye, you will think this place is a mess, with boxes on top of other boxes and not a clear organization method for the contents of their shelves; but if you ask a staff member, he will tell you if they have it and behind what other box it is located at.
Thanks to their curious inventory system, you are "encouraged" to take a closer look at their walls, shelves and cases for that hard-to-get-item.
