the daiso bus

Last night, my friend Mel booked a mini-van from the car co-op and six girls headed out to Richmond to Daiso. To those not familar with Daiso, it's a Japanese store where everything is $2. There are 2 levels of housewares, cosmetics, gardening supplies, and some wacky products like the peach-scented nipple cream I bought a couple of years ago as a joke. I'm always very cautious when shopping there because I don't want to get carried away nor do I want to bring even more junk back home. This shopping trip I did very well and purchased 3 very lovely notebooks, a wooden box for Cornelius (not pictured) and a very cute owl vase. Grand total: $10. Not bad.

go cars go

I don't own a car nor do I want to...however, these Japanese imports that I've spotted around town are waaaay too cute!! They're being sold in town by Japanoid and imported directly from Japan. Those Nissans are awesome and I've seen at least 2 of these cars parked around my neighbourhood.
