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
Ha-ha, office trolls. But, it is a true, Japan is country where people like to give and receive gifts. I received many, but mostly soba :lol: He-he, living alone, and do not like cooking, especially soba. I left that soba in Japan, but as a surprise I discovered one of those soba packs at my home recently. Nice looking pack, may be slightly petrified.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Kelvin is a little けちguy. I bet, he should smile when giving a gift.
Good one :)
ewww ...
Oh my… you mean you kept the soba for so long!? When did you stayed in Japan?
DeleteHehe, Kelvin is more generous than Joanne actually. He treated Eva a few times :P
Really, I did never stay in Japan for long time. I visited it 3 times and my longest stay here was less than 2 weeks, and mostly in winter time :lol:
ReplyDeleteBeing here, I received several gifts, like: red handkerchief, tote bag with a logo of Russian language school, hand cream, lighter ( very fancy ) and several packs of soba.
He-he, that petrified soba I forgot it in a bag, which I used to travel Japan three years ago, when I did came to Nagano. This is a bag for snowboard, and I do not use it often :lol:
BTW, I enjoyed to find that soba, and even tried to courage my coworkers to eat them.
ewww...
LOL so that soba was 3 years old XD
DeleteI hope there's no insects crawling around! Are you still keeping it?
Yeah, there were no any insects, I believe, because it is so messy and dirty at my place, that all insects are dying immediately.
DeleteBTW, I dumped these very valuable soba, I did not have a courage to eat them, sorry for that.
LOL, I thought you would have some incredible courage since you challenged your co-workers too XD
DeleteHaha, I'm sure the insects are celebrating somewhere below your mess XD
Working in Singapore. And it is the same. This also inculdes business trips local and overseas. @--@
ReplyDeleteWell it's the same, but Japanese is more extreme :P
DeleteYes I'd worked in Singapore for 5 years and do buy souvenirs when I go overseas (except to Malaysia)
