Corrupt corporation and academy.

I don't understand why do we have to buy the cap and gown?
I know the cap will have sentimental value, but the cap is a useless piece of fabric after the graduation ceremony. Jostens used to rent out the gowns, but they changed it.
Now they have to force us to buy it.
It is unfair for us students and competing companies. The students can't find a better price, escpically with the economy these days, low price, high quality goods are very important. Other companies doesn't have a chance to even let their business be seen by the possible customers that are the students.

Why do the school allowed such monopoly over the students? Isn't it illegal?

Legality

Went to a computer mall in Sham Shui Po yesterday.

I like that place. There are lot more variety of products here. There are digital drawing tablets there. I saw one that the tablet is a monitor. I want to buy a Wacom Intuos3, but I am going to price check on other places and online.

I bought a DVI to HDMI cable. A few CD pens.

I saw some computer games for less than HKD$ 100. They are obviously illegal copy, but I was tempted. But I thought, it might not be good for my computer. But I did saw some photoshop programs.

I really want that tablet, but I am going to look for the best price.

THE UBER BOX!!

Yesturday I went to The MEGA BOX.
It is the largest mall in Hong Kong. It is about 16 stories high, not including the 2 basement levels.

That place only have a few stores that I am interested in. But I love the interior architecture and design of the building.

I did went to a book store. I love that place, they sell books, of course, but also, DVDs VCDs CDs BRs, and stationary, and USB powered goodies.

I bought a four games bundle for the price of one game!!!! Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, War Hammer and an expansion pack.

I also saw some Haruhi Suzumiya novels and manga. I would by the manga, but they were missing volume 2. For the novels, I wanted to buy some too, but I don't know how to read. (>.<)

Sham Shui Po

Today I went to Sham Shui Po. It is a distributing district. Each street sells something differnt.
One street only sells cloths, one street only sells electronics, and one street only sells toys and collectibles.

I love that place, but my mom and relative was all tired half after walking a few blocks so we left. But I did bought many things. Everything there are so affordable.

Even with all the variety I still can't find what I am looking for. I can't find good Yuki Nagato figures. She is the least popular of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya characters. But when I find it, it will be cheaper compare to the other characters.

I am going to return to Sham Shui Po. I only walked around one block of the toy street and I have yet visited the electronic street and the computer shopping center.

Shopping!

I went shopping on Thursday and Friday.

On Thursday, it was more like window shopping since I didn't buy any thing.
I went to Mong Kok with family. I actually didn't mind looking at cloths with them. I guess I missed the fashion of Hong Kong. Then I went to a shopping center that is almost filled with toys and collectible shops.
I wanted to buy so much stuff there. But every thing is a bit expensive. I want to buy a figure of Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. But it cost $180 HKD. I guess after converting the currency to USD, it is not as expensive, but I doubt I can get the funding.

The next day I did buy something I like and still cheep. The only reason why it is cheep, it is because I seen it in the States. I saw a Union Flag from Gundam 00 at the Animerathon this year. It cost $30 USD. I bought the Flag for $148 HKD which is about $18 USD.

I love Hong Kong!!!!!
