A few of my favourite things...

I've only been here for just over a week and already my shopping addiction is getting the better of me!

Made it to Sannomiya today in far better shape than my trip a few days ago to Himeji. Thankfully Taku took me and the punctured bike down to the bike hospital last night where I also scored a nice little basket, so I didn't have any drama peddling to the station today.

I did however, puncture my wallet after only a few minutes inside GAP. Have been hunting a blazer with silver buttons and striped cuffs for a while now and bloody GAP has to have the only bloody blazer that I absolutely love. Unfortunately it wasn't ridiculously slashed in price like most other Autumn items instore so I walked out of there with a gap in my wallet as well. Ah well, it is a fiercely fashionable crowd in Sannomiya so I am pretty chuffed with my purchase.

When I shop in Japan I get a feeling not unlike, I'm guessing, heroin addicts get when they watch the needle bubbling before their veins. Give me give me give me- or perhaps more like a pig in a trough. I dunno, anway I spied so many things today that I had to put myself on a train ASAP so I wouldn't try to justify throwing down too many ichimans and be left without a train fare.

I've come up with a list of some of my favourite things to buy in Japan:

UniQlo tights
