I think it really depends on what you are looking for and where you are located. In general, where I live, the best places to look in are the big box stores. But I am also finding that online shopping is just as good.
In japan, the best way to find a big box store is to ask a local store clerk and see if they know of any big or small Japanese stores. Or just ask a random guy who’s always walking around on the street. Just be ready to explain the situation with the Japanese and explain what you need.
So far I have found that I am more likely to find Japanese big box stores when I am in the city to find the Japanese culture, rather than the suburban mall area. A big factor in this is because I tend to go to stores in bigger cities to get a better sense of the Japanese culture and to get a sense of how Japanese people live.
That’s about all I know about the Japanese culture.
The Japanese culture is interesting in and of itself, but one of the things I find the most interesting about the culture is how Japanese people deal with death. In most cultures, you are expected to do certain things when you lose someone close to you. In many cultures, you are given a choice of how to deal with death. Death is seen as a natural part of life, but in Japan people are taught to look at death as an interruption of the living.
In Japan, you don’t really “lose” someone close to you. Someone you thought was dead, was actually alive and well, somewhere around the same time. In Japan, you are the person who “loses” someone close to you. You are the one who was supposed to take care of them after their death.
It’s a bit disturbing to see that most of the people I’d consider to be close to me are in a place where they are dead. I know that’s not true for everyone, but I think it’s hard to look the other way when you’re a very close friend.
In Japan, especially Tokyo, we have the tradition of going to a big store in the morning and buying a bunch of stuff. You can buy pretty much anything you want, including food, electronics, clothes, etc. I have my own collection of all these things, but I dont see myself going to a big store every day. People do that all the time and its a good habit to get into, but I dont think it is something I should do.
You might be tempted to say, “But do you really need all that?”. But it is a good habit to get into, especially when youve also invested in buying the very best stuff online. The problem is that a lot of these really cool stuffs are very expensive and often you’re just buying it to take advantage of Amazon’s “Prime” shipping with free shipping on hundreds of items.
For starters, the Japanese big-box stores are not the best places to buy things online. You should seriously take a look at Amazon Japan, which has a better selection than Amazon.com. It might just be the best place to shop, because you can buy in bulk, and it actually ships to the country where you live. Amazon.com and Amazon Japan both have the same shipping costs, but Amazon Japan offers free shipping.
