It's already December. George is a British working in Tokyo, and he has decided to get his girlfriend Sakura a lovely Christmas present. As usual, he consults with his colleague Sarah. Sarah is George's coworker and also a close friend of Sakura. They all work at the same company.

George: "Sarah, what kind of Christmas present should I get for Sakura? How about perfume?"

Sarah: "Hmm, Sakura doesn't wear much perfume. She doesn't seem that she is into perfume. I think something like a ring, necklace, or some jewelry would be a better choice."

So, over the weekend, George headed to a jewelry store. The jewelry store is located in Shibuya and is popular among young women. On the weekend just before Christmas, the store was crowded with many people, and George began to feel overwhelmed. He muttered, "Oh, it's so crowded. This is quite a hassle. Maybe I should just go home..." But he persevered and continued to search for the perfect gift.

George found a beautiful necklace with a star design. It was a gold necklace with a small diamond inside the star. George decided to gift this necklace to Sakura. It was slightly over his budget, but he was sure Sakura would like it. He had it beautifully wrapped at the store.

George also bought the Christmas present and made a reservation for a Christmas cake. He ordered the cake from Sakura's favorite bakery. Even though it was a small Christmas cake, it cost 4,000 yen. He chose a French wine. With everything prepared, he's looking forward to their Christmas date.
