Back in 2013, I was applying for jobs in China and the employer said to me literally that they wanted a "white" and "western" looking person. I was shocked hy this. They did not see my qualifications or even where I am from, but rather just physically. I am Australin by my passport, raised and lived there all my childhood life all through after university and no one wanna hire me cuz I am Asian.

Back!
Hi guys we are back in Indonesia! At it's been chaotic here. If you guys haven't read the news.. lots of demonstrations and rioting are taking place at the moment everywhere. Especially in Jakarta. Well, even Solo here had a demonstration the other day-!! Sucks. So far it's just been disturbing the traffic and all but all of the minorities here (Chinese descent like myself) are worried that this riot can turn into the '98 Riot which was such a chaos. If you guys have no idea please google it. Well if that happens, we are definitely out of here. We are what people call a "double minorities" (Chinese and Christian) so that just makes it worst.

Is Tokyo expensive? & Realisation
Everytime I hear people talked about Tokyo or Japan in general.. they always say how expensive it is. So as we gave everything a try for the past week here in Tokyo.. and we found that it's not as expensive as what everyone said. Oke, so my past has been born in Indonesia, moved to Singapore for primary school then I moved to Australia when I was in grade 6. And I continued my life in Aussie until I graduated from university. So that's what I'm comparing them to.

Japanese clothing brands that I love!
Firstly, HAPPY NOVEMBER GUYSSS!!!
So anywayy, back in Aussie, it was really hard for me to find any brand of Japanese clothings as there aren't any that is available in Brissy. And sometimes I just can't be bothered trying to find other brands and then I had to mix and match it myself. Anywayyyyyy.. I'm still currently in Tokyo and I realised how much of Japanese brands I am missing out on!! As I was shopping around for Japanese brands (apart from Uniqlo of course) that aren't too pricy (at least within my budget range), I found some new brands that I love!!
If you guys don't know Uniqlo, it's like a big giant clothing store that sells simple everday wear. Not too pricy for most of their stuff. Their stores everywhere in Asia. Go check them out! If you can't find any clothes that suit you in the small boutiques in Japan, I suggest you go to one of the Uniqlo store. I'm sure you'll find something. Oke, Time to share..
