Daiso

Can we talk about Daiso Japan???  Yesterday I went to the Oasis Shopping Centre, which has a few clothing stores, a Carrefour Market, and a bunch of home good stores.  I was on the hunt for curtain rods and office supplies (so I can organize my AWA Gala stuff!)  I was pretty successful with the curtain rods at Max, which is a store that seems to have a little of everything.  I couldn't find any good binders or notebooks, though.  I wanted something somewhat stylish and cute.  If my stuff is pretty I'm more likely to stay organized.  I ended up wandering into some back corner in the mall and found Daiso Japan.  Seriously, this place is amazing.  It's all Japanese imported items and just chalked full of super cheap, cutesy, weird Japanese items.  I could have gone nuts on random things I don't really need but look cool and come in fun designs.  In the end I got a neon green binder, a hole punch, two notebooks, two pocket notebooks, the perfect sized plastic bin for Renard's food, a coin purse (which you need for all your Dirhams), and paperclips all for AED 70 (about $19).  Not bad!  My favorite item, which I just had to have, is this notebook.  The poor translation made me giggle.  So adorable.

When I separate a hand, where does you fly to?

I may have found my new "happy place."
