Today I put down 175 to send back random knickknacks, ranging from USB cords to half-finished scarves to paper fans from Kyoto. They should arrive in mid-January. After much deliberation, I&#8217;m giving most of my [&#8230;]]]></description>

After I get back to Cali, I should have a lot more time on my hands. So expect more photos around the holiday season! Until then, check out my trading card. P.S.

					<description><![CDATA[The washer tore the beading off my favorite shirt. I should have expected this, since it was only 5,000 won (around five American dollars), and this happened to another cute shirt a few months ago. But oh oh oh. So sad. The fake stones on the front reminded me of the stones my parents would [&#8230;]]]></description>

Not only did she have the same name as one of my sisters, but she was the same age too and just out of college. And a vegetarian.
