I think could be also of the debit card that has no fx advantage...

I only bought a cup holder from 小胖 in 红楼... Other stuff, I feel that the pricing is a bit on the high side in 红楼...

At the moment, I got 1 day empty... Still contemplating wanna go 林口 outlet store... Mitsui Outlet Park 2... A bit out of the way, but seems like a lot of stuff for me to buy... May re-organise my plan to go to this place 1st...
