The last Friday and Saturday of term are hard to study on. Everyone wants to celebrate the last day of classes for another school year before they settle into studying.
I am not that much different. On Friday, I was on a mission to find new jeans. Preferably two, if I could find them, but definitely at least one. I went with a couple of girlfriends to Robson Street for window-shopping, which is always fun, but alas, no jeans within an affordable price range. Jeans were within the $40 to $70 price range, while my budget is for $30 at the very most. My mission is not complete just yet, but it will be.
The problem is, of course, that I have options. I have the option of buying my clothes in Hong Kong for anywhere from half the price to an eighth of the price. A fraction. When this option is open to me, I’m loathe to spend more than I need.
Granted, Robson was not the best place to go for such a specific mission. It was still very fun to wander around with friends and to snack, though. I spent more on food than anything else: I had a hot dog, gelato, and then a crepe at Cafe Crepe. Cafe Crepe alone is worth the trip downtown; I was so sad when the one on campus closed down. If I knew how to make crepes, believe me when I say I’d make them!
