[Part 1] 78. Retail therapy

Class ended early today :)
We spent 3 hours going through the mid-term exam paper and for the last period, our teacher wanted us to do some jigsaw puzzle or something but we told her that everyone else in the other classes had already left, so she let us off :P
Chocolate for each of us from 홉스굴 언니 because she won the 1st prize in the essay competition. So sweet of her!  

These days, I prefer taking bus #129 from school to Seomyeon. More convenient than taking the shuttle bus to Sasang and then taking the subway. The main purpose for going to Seomyeon was to get this security tag off my knit cardigan -.- Thanks Uniqlo.

I popped by H&M and Zara too but nothing caught my eye. Went all the way down to Nampodong for Mango too but the Gala Gonzalez for Mango Touch collection wasn’t available at the only Mango store in Busan :( When I was walking towards Lotte Department store in the subway station, I overtook a guy in a military uniform. Yes, I walk fast when I shop alone. And when I was in the Lotte Department store there, he ran up to me and asked if I was some Korean person. I told him that I wasn't and that I’m a foreigner and he replied to me in rather fluent English. It’s quite strange though because if he had mistaken me for someone else, the moment he saw my face, he would have just apologised that he mistook me for someone else right? But no, after he stopped me, he asked if I was so-and-so. Oh wells.

Next and final stop of my shopping trip was Beomil to visit my friends at Chanel :P The new ’13 Cruise collection isn’t in yet but the catalogue was. I’m on such good terms with the staff there that they even allowed me to make reservations for any item that I wanted. I really love the new collection because I love flowers and it’s the main theme for this upcoming collection. There’s a pair of very pretty black sparkly CC earrings with small camellia flowers at the tips but it costs 878,000원 :’(
Unfortunately, I’m broke and I can’t buy anymore branded stuff so….yeah. But it’s always nice to window shop and look at pretty things and practise my Korean :)
The black double tour Kelly with GHW bracelet is in at Hermes but it’s only available in M size and after trying it on, I think it’s quite a disappointment. It doesn’t look or feel expensive and I will not pay so much for a bracelet.

Love the toilets in major department stores. So nice and clean! 
Got a few samples and with the bigger-sized samples I got from my VanityTrove box, I have my skincare products for my upcoming short stay in Seoul next month ready :) 
Loving my new cup from Starbucks and the rice chips 2,000원 are quite nice!
