A few weekends ago Ray and I went to Aberdeen Mall in Richmond as I wanted to check out Daiso. "A" told me it's a store where everything is $2 but it's more upscale than the typical dollar store. Apparently the one in Richmond was the first one to open in North America as it originated in Japan and is quite big over there and in Asia. I was so overwhelmed in the store as it's 2 floors and has sooooooooo much stuff. It was too hard to focus and look at everything in under an hour as we got there shortly after 8:00 and the store closed at 9:00. Also I couldn't tell what everything was as the packaging was all in Japanese. All I ended up getting was lilac scissors.
