Description
For those of you who are not familiar with the Daiso, it is a 100 yen store (basically, a dollar store). There are some in the states, and it's the most common 100 yen store to find in Japan. I like all the fun things you can get there, and usually the stuff is pretty useful. I get socks, makeup, chapstick, etc there, but my favorite thing to get is stickers.But the stickers are all the way in the back.
And the aisles are barely big enough for one person. So, if you ever want to get anywhere in the daiso at my local mall, you have to traverse the Daiso Labyrinth. It's like a Zelda puzzle, or something. And all these really annoying people just standing there, going through their stuff, not wanting to move, etc etc.
So yes. I thought it'd be a fun thing to document, the journey through the teeny aisles, avoiding the obstacles.
Enjoy!

There's a Daiso in Mountain View, but I think it's been remodeled since I've been there. I got an insulated lunchbox that's been fantastic for $1.50! Haha, fun!

I've never noticed the stickers in Daiso. My favorite part of it is the bento supplies and stationary. Although I want to go back for some organizing supplies. I did not know it was a 100 yen over there.

I love 100 yen and dollar stores. They're great stores for when you're poor or as my mom puts it when broke is what you're shooting for. lol Though the quality of stuff in 100 yen stores tends to be better for some reason. >.> Which makes no sense to me but whatever.
