I bought a coat ($13), hat ($1), and gloves ($3) today from the local supermarket today. It is getting colder and colder so I need to have something clothing to keep me alive outside, but still something I can throw away when I go someplace warmer. I think pretty good prices for brand new stuff?
I’ve been using text messaging quite a bit on my phone. Kind of slow to type in English though. I was able to try the Chinese input today and noticed it was really fast and efficient. You do one letter at a time and it suggests characters for you. Like an AutoComplete on the computer. However, I don’t know many words so it isn’t really useful for me. Maybe that’s one a big reason why text messaging is so popular in Asian countries over talking.
