So I've been in Korea for about 6 months now, and I've only been in a department store like..5 times? In Korea, anything imported is realllly overpriced. I remember when I went to Hong Kong, all of their own stuff was super cheap and imported stuff. For example, I remember going to H&M in Hong Kong, finding more stylish and cheaper pieces than back in Canada. However, H&M, Zara, Converse, etc. are all a lot more expensive and the styles aren't very different from the ones back home.
I've resorted to shopping in subway stations....."wtf?" you ask? Yes...subway shopping..LOL

Around the World: Tokyo and Osaka
<3
Sooo...it's been almost a month since I've returned from Japan so it's about time I shared my thoughts. I mean EVERYBODY says this but for me it was pretty true, people in Japan are soooo nice. It's possible that I went during the Lunar New Year and the amount of people getting on and off the subways could have been significantly reduced from the average day, but.....NO SHOVING! I was shocked especially since I've been living in Seoul for the past 5-6 months, getting on the subway without getting shoved comes as a shock to me. This also worries me, because it means that I am starting to become desensitized to all of the shoving in Korea..to a point where I have almost stopped realizing how annoying it is until I left the country. With that being said, I still very much think I would prefer living in Korean rather than Japan. I love it here =D

Update: Japan blog post FAIL
Sooooo I really wanted to write a post about my experience in Japan and post a video as well..buuuut my laptop is total crap. Every time I try to do something it just turns off and takes half my life to load up again. Ace will be here on Saturday and should be arriving with a new laptop for me sooooo I'm super excited!! Also, by then I should be able to have all my pictures and videos and whatnot together. Sorry for the delay. If you're bored I have pictures up on facebook - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100615034044130.2744209.48914887&type=3 ...if you don't have facebook..sorry..you'll have to wait.
I hope nobody else has to deal with annoying, useless, aggravating, irritating, send-you-to-a-mental-hospital technology like I do.
Happy Tuesday!
xoxo
P.S. Only 4 more days! Can you tell that I'm super excited?!??!?!
P.P.S. Ms Chan..I will be forever grateful of you sitting through my countdown and made a conscious decision to still be my friend =D xoxoxo
