My last week has been mostly quiet, because I've chosen to spend most of my free time by myself. I find it easier to explore the first time alone, because I don't have to worry about what another person wants to do. I can just go and do what I want, and learn as much or as little as I want about a place.
Even so, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, when I wasn't at work studying or at the store picking up food or whatever I needed, I was at home reading or watching something. Just spending time with myself. Thursday, I went to Beppu and tracked down the Hard Off there. I managed to find a TV that I liked for ¥10,500, then I stopped at the Book Off/Off House on the way back and found a new bag for ¥595. It's big enough to be a bookbag/briefcase thing and is black except for the fact that the lining is Mickey Mouse and there's one Mickey thing on the outside. Friday, my supervisor led me to this Mitsubishi shop in the next city so they could repair something that was recalled.
Yesterday, much of my day was spent just as I'd done most of the week, but then I went back to Beppu to the Daiso, where I bought a few more things I needed for cheap, along with a couple of things I just wanted because I could. I found a department store and went looking for some more clothes for work. Before I started looking, I went to an omurice place. It was delicious and they gave me a reward card, so I'll get it stamped every time I go to one of those places. Beside the food court was a small Uniqlo. I found one shirt there, though I would have liked another. The other was a new item and a bit more than I wanted to spend right now. I found another shop with some shirts I liked, and I ended up getting two things there, too.
I have three problems with most of the things I tried on, though, and these are the same problems I had back home: many are shorter than I'd like, the fabric is super sheer, so I'd have to wear an undershirt, and they're not made for boobs my size. The one-two punch of having a short torso and big boobs rules out a lot of shirts, because I'd rather not accentuate both at the same time. Any shirts that require buttons are almost certainly out, because, even though they fit everywhere else, it comes open at the bust. I found one other shirt I liked at the second store. My only problem was that, even though it was two layers, you could still see straight through it. I'd rather not have to wear several layers in general, much less in the summer in Kyushu. Siiigh. I'm thinking of heading to another department store today, so wish me luck?
