+ ¥13000

~ ¥850

This is a good example of why the second hand shops are so great in Tokyo.

The first photo is from a quite pricey shoe store in Shinjuku. As you can probably see, the price of these shoes is over ¥13 000 (+130€ / +160$ / +100£). That’s written in the price tag of the grey shoe.

The second photo is from Jumble Store, a second hand store in Harajuku. I actually bought these shoes. The condition was super good and the price was only ¥850 (+8€ /+10$ /~7£ ).

There are not much differences between these shoes, the first one’s are maybe made of a bit better material, i don’t know. They look the same though, mine second hand shoes are a bit brighter that’s all. Works for me!

So before you’re going to buy something neat, visit the local second hand stores. You may get positively surprised!

Hearing you talk about Japan makes me excited because it feels like as if I went there myself lol but I've been wanting to go to Japan for a long time... If its not too much of a personal question, how much did it cost you to go? price of plane tickets?

Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:42:14 +0300

My plane tickets (4 flights total) were about 700€. I used Finnair. I got a discount price though,...

i'm sorry if i caused any inconvenience.

i seem to have posted some incorrect translations and words, but if you use them in japan...

somehow = maa maa (まあ　まあ ) this is wrong, your English translation is wrong, "somewhat" = "まあ　まあ". meccha is also not really appropriate for this situation... it's one of the slang words for "very" originating in Western Japan, but there are many more ways, and more appropriate ways to say "very" in this situation. I am not trying to be rude, but since you are acting as a Japan blogger person... then you should be more careful about basic language things.

i know i maybe make some mistakes and it’s pretty difficult to learn all these things right...

You went alone? did you feel safe? I'm saving up to go and I want someone to go with me because I'm not sure about being in a foreign country alone.

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:19:55 +0300

Yes, I went alone. And surprisingly I felt very safe :) There isn’t that much criminality in...

When are you coming back to Tokyo? Oh, and btw, did you went with your bf? Just curious... :D

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:32:27 +0300

Haha well I think I’ll have to save a lot money and for quite a long before coming back. ASAP...
