Needless to say...I got lost.
Also found the Korean equivalent of Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie. It had the same decor, store layout, and style of clothing...weird. Look at the cute bunny beanies though!! :)
Amusingly enough, I got asked no less than 5 times for directions or some kind of question by Korean passerby. It's simultaneously hilarious and embarrassing to have to say sorry and that I don't understand. They all smiled but looked confused, and sometimes looked back at me as they left. YES I KNOW I LOOK KOREAN but I am not a failed Korean for not speaking the language BECAUSE I'M NOT KOREAN. The older ones always seem more understanding and pat my arm or head when I say I don't understand. A couple times these pretty, power-suit wearing women in the shopping malls or subway station shopping areas would watch me and then accost me trying to propose something to me. I have no idea what they were saying but I always feel bad for having to say sorry. In Nature's Repulic I managed to get a salesgirl who spoke some English and she asked where I was from. I said America, but my dad is Japanese and my mom is Chinese. Predictably she looked shocked and goes "What? Oh I thought you were Korean!" T.T This is getting old.
I did see more foreigners here at the mall than anywhere else I've been and at least I don't get stared at like they do. So maybe it's not all bad I fit in. Kind of. People still stare at my clothes. WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CLOTHES HUH.
More of my bathroom obsession: these sinks were all cute, quaint, and homey with individual sinks and mirror decals :)
Also: Mom and Dad they have a Todai!!! :D
