on my 2nd last day in Japan, i was horrified to find out that the Bao Bao counter in Takashimaya Nanba was all wiped out.
like seriously?!?!
and the sales assistant was trying to tell me that i cant take pictures, its just empty shelves with no Bao Baos at all why cant i take pics!?!??!?!??! argh.
apparently stocks were renewed everyday but its sold out everyday, and she wasnt able to tell me exactly which bags will be available tomorrow.
the only Bao Baos she can show me is via their catalog and i can only take a pic of it off her ipad. wtf.
tremendously horrified. i mean, i know the bag is v pops lately but i didnt expect it to be THIS pops!
so next day aka my last day in Japan, i went at 945am before Taka's doors even open!
i picked the elevator which i thought was closest to the Bao Bao counter at Level 4, and dashed in once the departmental store opened at 10am (salute the Japanese for precision punctuality)!
turns out, that elevator is the one furthest to the Bao Bao counter FML. i had to brisk walk through the entire floor with EVERY sales assistant bowing to me "ohaiyo gozaimasu". its quite a wonderful experience having a person every 5metres greeting u like a VVVVVIP in a JDrama, but i can hardly enjoy the warm welcome.
TADAH! ffffffffffff, im already the 20th person!! AND THERE WERE ONLY 10 BAO BAOS AVAILABLE THAT DAY WTFFFFFF. #epicfail
i tried asking the Bao Bao sales assistant, in my version of Japanised English, if these 19 people ahead of me found a secret passage into the counter earlier, he said "no, they run hayaku hayaku at 10am". and at least half of these 19 people look like the typical poised Japanese ladies, very hard for me to imagine they cheonging damn tak glamly for a bag.
so, i didnt even get to so much as touch a single Bao Bao and had to leave Japan on a sad note. #UPSET
this is the Bao Bao i wanted. wow USD720! it was just JPY28,000 there! SGD460 in the Forum Singapore store, and its sold out in Singapore until next year! GOSH, SERIOUSLY.
