Being frank
Where to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo
Because my photo of the markers received so many shares, I realised that many artists are interested about the markers and perhaps want to know where to buy them from. Hence I wrote this guide for artists to shop in COPIC heaven aka Tokyo. ★ UPDATE NOV 2017: Please refer to my new article for latest updates on COPIC marker shopping! >>> Ultimate Guide to Copic marker shopping in Tokyo, Japan
Lol are they really that frank in singapore?
ReplyDeleteWell... at least we're direct :)
DeleteHa-ha. I think I'll dice into small pieces anybody, who will tell me that my cooking is bad. So, You should be happy that people in S-pore are kind.
ReplyDeleteBTW, how was Your moving? Its took 3 days for You, enough for lazy walk from Tokyo to S-pore. Did You unpack Your socks?
ewww ...
Haha... yeah I was really busy unpacking, but I also had to trash and recycle a lot of my old things to make way for new stuff. A lot have grown moldy.... Singapore is too humid!
DeletePoor Eva. Hope that You aren't much stressed. Usually, I put some special mark on a box with socks, and ... ewww ... each time I have had to buy new, cuz it is impossible to find old ones. Hope that You does not have such problems, since You are MBA and smart.
DeleteAre Your parents happy to see You? Will You live with them?
ewww ...
Well I know where my things are but I underestimated the humidity in Singapore... many of my books, sketchbooks and tools, etc. have grown moldy... sigh!
DeleteMy parents are happy to see me and I'm staying with them for the moment until my sister's tenant move out sometime late this year...
Unfortunately so true.
ReplyDeleteI wish my Japanese co-workers could sometimes be more frank with me! ^^;
Haha you can try to show them my comics too XD
DeleteIn the US we could get any number of the answers, depending on the coarseness of a persons personality, and perhaps also thier current mood. Most of us consider being very frank to be rude, but there are also those who consider avoiding a frank answer to be rude. Really the best answer is probably to simply say it's "not bad". "Not bad" is like unique in that it doesn't actually say that it's good or bad, but those receiving that answer generally consider it as meaning it's good.
ReplyDeleteHaha I once said it's ok and my sister knew that it means mediocre :P
DeleteSincerity...good
ReplyDeleteGiving unsolicited opinion....bad
**Hey the food could improve, seems a bit dry*** good
**Well I do so much better chicken, you could try bla bla bla*** Save it...baaaad
That's a street smart answer!
DeleteI think I'd been "Japanized", smile and eat less...
