Going to Ultraman Club, in Namco Wonderpark Heros’ Base in Kawasaki, Raimie wouldn’t miss meeting his favourite heroes at any cost!

I’m starting to love Korean food more and more nowadays. Zaini and Raimie are not total converts yet, but I’m optimistic that Raimie will not resist so much when I wanted to go to eat Korean in future (he resisted becaus ehe equates eating Korean food as going to the very friendly Korean lady stall at Food garden in Gardens Mall.
