Tomy Car USA and Toyota Harrier (Lexus RX 350)

During the Oregon Trip, I discovered two little things while buying toys for my kids.

Tomy Car actually make toys for North America as well but it is not as popular.
North Americans are less accepting of "Tomy"'s product because USA has its traditional companies' toys.

Not sure why but Asians and Europeans love Tomy's products!

Another small thing I found is that Toyota Harrier, included in the box, is actually Lexus RX series.
I guess Lexus is really just a name change for Toyota's higher product line....

Oregon Trip: All American Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

During the Oregon trip, I went to Lloyd Center and saw this shop:  All American Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt.

I have never bought anything from this store but they have so many varieties of products...
even bubble tea! 
(I would be concern trying the bubble tea there because anything Asian is almost not as good as Vancouver`s)

I ordered a Banana Chocolate Sundae and it was huge and excellent!
