………spending money, and tiny cute colorful things that serve no purpose whatsoever other than to look adorable (they are not!) and cost way more than you think they are going to. The two go together perfectly.
There are charming old streets lined with tiny stores
And there are trendy modern markets,
But they are all selling one thing.
Cute!
Displaying cute isn’t necessary. Jamming as much of it as possible into your small space is ….
There are design stores, where they try to make it look expensive
and fail miserably. It still looks cheap ………………….and really tacky
They use cute to sell everything. Even gas (petrol to the English amongst us)
And then ………………..
remember these from your misspent youth, where you directed a claw to grab an item of your choice. And you never could!
Well, they still love them in Taiwan. Every block has a shop with nothing but these machines. And why? Because they are full of useless cute little items
So obsessed are they with cute, that they even go out of their way to look cute themselves.
And if they don’t look cute enough, they can always accessorize
