I have been drinking coffee recently / These days I really like coffee and I am used to buying a cup of coffee on the way to work everyday but I don’t buy Starbucks coffee which is expensive. I feel everything’s price is really expensive in Shanghai.
It has become cold so i have to buy some new shoes. Then i tried a pair of shoes at an upstairs’s shoe shop then i had to pay more than 1700 RMB even with a 25% discount so I still didn’t buy those shoes for myself because if i bought it I would be broke so let me see. Maybe i can buy it when i get my salary this month. There is a clothes shop next to our beauty salon where the price of every shirt is more than 1500 RMB and they are not international famous brands. So i don’t understand why they are so expensive. I feel i am like a poor lady because i even can not buy a shirt.
