Haha I didn't know you're a ViVi kind of girl! Japanese fashion / standard is so different from here, isn't it?

Yeah, if you're on a budget that's the way to go. Those shopping districts in Seoul act kind of like the outlet version of Shibuya fashion?

All those J-mags like ViVi, JJ, CanCam, Cawaii, Popteen, etc. are super cool (best eye candy ever!) but weigh a ton! Trust me I know I've had to offload / move them on more than a few occasion.

on an average $9 to $25 U.S.D. that collection can be very costly. I agree with you on the eye candy factor being a plus. especially, when what ever it takes to make you relax on the throne.

Oh sweet! Do you speak Korean? I just started learning it. Yo vivo en Manhattan Beach, pero quiero vivir en Asia :P

Yeah, my Korean friends who are taking me keep saying everything is cheaper in Korea, and that we will do tons of shopping.
The fashions in Japan and Korea do seem pretty similar, I just like Asian fashions in general waaay more than what we have here.

In my opinion in general Korean fashion is a bit more on the funky side compared to Japanese.

But both are way better than the "American style" we've got going on over here.

With out knowing your gender/ethnicity and size, I agree with you on the sense that (logical) that clothing fit better cause it's Asian design for Asian peeps.

Daaaamn, I'm jealous!! I'm really working hard to attain fluency in all my languages, but I know it will take awhile. What language(s) do you usually think/dream in? (I always like to ask multi lingual people that question)

I wish!!! I work here near the San Diego and Mexico border in the commercial import/customs logistics business and was forced to pick up the language. Occupational hazards i guess.

Hahaha that is truly awsome!! I almost never count in English, I used to do it in Japanese, but lately, due to my job, I count in Korean.
Swearing in Korean definitely sounds way more badass than English or Japanese :P
It's interesting that you think in English though, since (I'm assuming) Korean is your first language.

born in Korea, but my entire education was received here and having grown up in a "wonder years" Neighborhood where most of childhood friends were White Anglos. Funny thing is that we all later on in life find ourselves in the things we find similarities in what ever we decide to define ourselves with. Begin a product of our environment i have had girlfriends and friends of every color and culture. I'm sooo ******* lost in my ways it's not Even funny any more. I am a Korean American who loves Rotary. lol
