Shopping in Japan so far..

So ive been shopping every single day since i came to Japan i just cant help mmyself. I have bought a collection of blankets, a pillow, colourful fruit smelling pens, inscense sticks for my room , pot pourri, 3 notepads, bowls, chopsticks and of course food. the majority of things i have bought have not been essential but ive made an excuse for needing them.

The Japanese seem to make simple things really pretty and cute and it just makes you want to buy them, especially food. The packaging is very decieving, the majority of food items i have bought have not been what i thought. Two days ago i went to the supermarket to buy milk to make scrambled eggs, it looks relatively normal. So yesterday morning before i started work i was fair excited to finally have some cereal and proceeded to add the milk to my cornflakes. As i took a big spoonful i discovered this i not milk but infact some form of condensed milk or cream, it is disgusting and should definately not be eaten with cornflakes. I have also bought various items of food which look like plane bread rolls but infact have some disgusting filling inside them. Next time i go food shopping iam going to take a book with me describing what everything is.
