Summer Sale

It's dangerous to come to Tokyo during Summer. Why has nobody told me before about the summer sale in tokyo? It's dangerous, horribly crowded (obon period la), cheap (by japan standard) and of course the ta-ma-de-worst-and-more-humid-than-Singapore weather?

The must dos and donts during Tokyo Summer holiday:

• you NO LONGER have to queue to go into H&M but don't expect to shop without stepping onto someone's leg in there
• don't even think of Forever 21, Japanese loves F21 and you wont want to queue under hot sun
• Hanjiro - MUST go, there's a section for used clothes (looks so new) and a section for new arrivals but the best section is the one with green tags which means you can just pick any 2 for 3990yen (about $60) ! Since when you can get clothes in Japan for $30 a piece? The selection ranges from shirts to tees to jeans to maxi dress!! Sugoi!
• Japanese Ice Kacang, xi bei nice! It's just ice with syrup and milk but because they are not stingy with syrup, so it just taste so good
• All the shops are on sale. Especially the local shops. We know how expensive the japanese fashion is. Imagine them at 50% off. I bought a dress today at SGD45. And another Womb look alike top for $30.
• Wear light clothes
• Bring empty luggage!
  

I think the reason I discover the wonder of Tokyo shopping only after 5 trips is because I never come during Summer. And so I never really bother to shop for clothes (since we can't wear those Autumn, Winter, Spring bajus) but NOW I KNOW.

I'll be back next summer :)
