Monday morning started off with a BANG! No la...I just thought it sounded nice to say that. It was actually quite cold and then we had breakfast then set off to office. AMD was just less than 5 minutes drive away. My friend took us for lunch at Tofu House along El Camino Real. Their dishes are all tofu (beancurd). It's beancurd in a claypot of different flavours served with rice. I took the seafood beanfurd pot and it was quite delicious and affordable too. Fast forward through the day, we left work and my colleague's brother took us to Greatmall at Milpitas for some good 'ol shopping! That place is full of what we in Penang would refer to as branded outlets. Guess, Levis, Abercrombie & Fitch, Nike, Timberland, Dockers and many many more. It was definitely jaw-dropping cheap in comparison to Malaysia. I mean in US, let's assume they make like USD3000 a month for their salary. They only need to spend USD20.00 for a Levi's jeans or USD40.00 for a pair of Guess jeans. We make let's say also RM3000 a month in Malaysia and we have to spend RM300.00 for a pair of Levis or Guess jeans. Absurd isn't it? The cost of living in US (for people who work and live there) is SO LOW. A BMW costs USD50000 in US and it probably cost like RM200000 and above in Malaysia. *gasp* Even vitamins are way cheaper. *snort* Well, the shops close at 9pm and we shopped till 9.01pm and left. To be continued...
