Maybe you’ve heard of Daiso (https://mydaiso.com.au/aboutdaiso/) – the Japanese superstore. But until you’ve actually walked through the crowded aisles and cast your eyes over the countless items on display – jumping from food to pet toys to toothpaste tube squeezers to stationary – you can’t really imagine it.  The original idea behind the store was that every item was 100 Yen, and while that doesn’t hold true in Australia, it is incredibly cheap.  Of course, the problem with that is you end up buying a lot of things that catch the eye, but you don’t actually need them!  I bought Japanese snacks, Japanese mini-blocks and a headband – amongst other things – and it really added up!  But I’m fully stocked for Japanese stationery now, and all set for school assignments.
