Labi

click on pics to see larger versions

just a couple of pics to show you just how amazing this department store is! its crazy seeing so many designer bags and wallets in such a small space. the bags in the cabinets along the walls are mostly all unlocked so you can grab and try on as many as you wish with no pressure from sales assistants at all. there was one SA looking after the section and she said hello once and left us to browse at our leisure! will definitely be heading back to Labi on our next visit :)

Japan again!

Yes we are going to Japan again! in November for 2 whole weeks! can't wait to see more of the country, may venture to Hiroshima and Kyoto this time, and of course the shopping. and with the new laptop i should be able to update as we go. i heart Japan :)

Japan

me and my boy went on our first overseas trip together in April this year to Japan! we only went for about 8 days but i wish we stayed longer. we both love everything about Japan, the language, the anime, the cars, the fashion (me), the cheap computer parts (him!), most of the food and the way they live. cannot wait to go back! could easily live there.
we took something like 400 photos, here are just a few of my favourites.
