So while I was cleaning up my room and unpacking some things I brought home from college, I ended up stumbling upon some charms that I got from \u91d1\u95a3\u5bfa (kinkaku-ji) in \u6319\u515a\u3001\u65e5\u672c (Kyoto, Japan). While I was looking through the bags I found a few receipts and I was absolutely shocked at how much money I had actually spent. Just in that bag alone, I had found two receipts totaling around 8,000\u5186\uff01

\nSo to save you a little time I\u2019ll just tell you what 8,000 yen is equivalent to\u2014it\u2019s roughly, give or take, $70. You want to know what one of the receipts was for? Twenty face masks. I spent $70 on face masks. Mind you the entire time I knew the conversation rate to the dollar while I was in Japan. Guys, I am so frugal I even refuse to fill up my car when I have been driving on empty for a questionable amount of miles. What was I thinking, you ask? Well, I wasn\u2019t, clearly. I was just so excited that I was in Japan, buying everything my little heart desired, and to be fair I only ran out of money on the very last day of my trip. Still, I can think of a million other things I could have invested that $70 dollars into but c\u2019est la vie. Je vais devoir vivre avec elle. Pas de probl\u00e8me<\/em>. All the money I spent I had saved for this trip so I guess it\u2019s okay. No, it is okay! I am just going to need to get my life together before August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
