Daisos in Japan are an experience compared to what we have in the US! I LOVE FREAKING MINISO! There cheapie perfumes thrill me lol! ;-D I 100% agree! if I have to lug bags around with me chances are I’m not buying it! I actually like driving to places and having my car when possible but in Manhattan it can be a REAL issue!
]]>YES Ma’am! I love Vegas! Def one of my favs places to go! So much to see and do (and eat!)
]]>Always a priority in Vegas – keeping cool while shopping! That city is actually a great place for shopping – and eating, which is almost as important. ; )
]]>LOL it was a strange time haha! I just overkilled on the shopping at the time. I think the shopping bug was def drained by covid on my side too!
]]>I love Miniso! It’s a fav of mine! Their cheapie perfumes make me squeal in joy! We do have Shibuyala which is pretty awesome! Still sounds like a nice spot to stay cool while shopping in Vegas 😀
]]>Now there’s a branch of Shibuyala, which I believe you have in the Big Apple. I liked it and bought a fair bit there but I thought it would have a lot more selection, especially of beauty products. I’ll go back because I’m usually in Vegas once or twice a year and there was a fantastic conveyor belt sushi restaurant and a great Korean cafe. There were other Asian restaurants and cafes there too but I thought there would be more shopping. Eraser
]]>Miniso–I think I’ve only been there twice. It’s so similar to Daiso, and since I’m not one to collect knick knacks and trinkets, I don’t venture in too often. I’m pretty sure there’s one in the Great Mall. What do you need? LOL!
And yes, I think New York is reminiscent of Asia in that there are smaller stores everywhere! I think in major cities where public transportation is the main mode of transportation, that’s going to be the case. It’s all about convenience because no-one is going to be lugging around giant shopping/grocery bags on the train and buses. It’s far more convenient to just stop by a store nearby and pick up something as you go. I always wish the Bay Area doesn’t need a car for everything.
]]>oh my god I won’t get into washi tape here. No I won’t fall down that rabbit hole!
]]>and freaking Jollibee (we have it but it’s so damn out of the way). We need more West Coast things on the East coast ;D
