Subway Shopping

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

BBQed

Around the World: Tokyo and Osaka

To start off..I want to say yay!! my bf is here and he brought along a new Macbook Pro for me so I can can blog freely without worrying that my computer is just going to turn off =D.

<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
