Branded or not?

being here for 1 week plus. i've been looking around and found out a few things.

other than the scenery that is available on my facebook photos, i've also been thinking about the china market.

there are of coz a lot of products made in china. you can see a lot of different 'branded' things here. you can even get a pair of converse for 45 yuan. which is around 10 bucks. looks the same anyway. only the person who wear it for few hours will know the different.

here, if you wear the real goods, in other people eyes they might be fake too. for example i am wearing a real converse, but people will think it's fake because of my identity. a student. compared to a professional wearing a fake good, people will think that it's real.

i think things in china is more about is it practical compare to is it real? who cares around here?

these 2 weeks had been fruitful and also see a lot.

Suzhou was fun. it was very very well planned and cant be compare to singapore or malaysia.

i was amazed everyday by new things i see and new people i meet.

i love exploring!

  1. yo! good to hear that you're having fun exploring and all. you'll so love europe like that. can foresee every weekend will be a wild trip for you!! can't wait to see all your exchange photos for next sem mans! haha and regarding the branded thing.. won't the value of fake branded goods be quite worthless if not for the existence of the branded goods? we still need branded stuff!! =DD

  2. actually the most important thing to consider when you buy a product should be the quality. not just the brand. why do people buy branded stuff? bcuz it's of good quality! that's why i'd rather have fewer stuff, but buy the original ones. you don't need to care about whether others think it's original or it's not. tak penting lah.

    travel more!! go to hangzhou!! it's drop dead beautiful, ok?!

    and.. help me buy the converse sneakers la.. please.. one light colour, like light grey or beige will do. one dark, perhaps dark blue or black? hehehehhe. xp
