The entire exchange experience there was a fruitful one. Thought me many valuable skills. Made valuable friendships along the way. However it was not all good. I saw the ugly side of the Asian culture of being very competitive. Unwilling to share knowledge just so that they have the edge over you. Rather disappointing I must say. Nonetheless the entire experience has been a wonderful one for me.
Apart from the awesome experience that have been etched into my memories here are some of my physical loots.
Firstly an awesome leather briefcase from Saddleback Leather Company.
Full grain leather. No zips. No magnetic clips. Only buckles to secure your stuff. The quality on this bag is just amazing. As this is full grain there will tend to be marks and sometimes scars of the cow that the leather was taken from. Thus every single bag is unique and no 2 bags are the same. In addition the way that you use it will also affect how the leather age. And of course something so expensive would also require good leather care. Would highly recommend anyone who is interested in leather bags to consider this.
Next up would be something to add into my audio equipment collection. Aftermarket cables from Toxic Cables.
Unless you're an audio addict like me, this probably means nothing to you. However if you love audio like I do, Frank from Toxic Cables makes one of the finest custom cables for any headphones/earphones of your choice.
What I'm about to present next isn't much of an "exotic" buy compared to the above 2 purchase above. However what made it special was the price.
So for those of you who follows the price of micro SD cards, you would know that the 128GB card is a rather new product and cost a bomb. When it was first released it had big price tagged to it. Selling at close to 200USD. Manage to snag one up at a whopping price of 109USD from Amazon. Just in case you're wondering about the authenticity of the card, I can guarantee that it is 100% original. This is because it is sold by Amazon and not some third party dealer. Even checked it with Sandisk. Amazon still holds the lowest price till date. So for those interested to grab it.
Last but not least the final loot. A Club Master Shades from Ray Ban.
Have always loved the classic look that Ray Ban had. So to add to my collection on top of my current Wayfarer, I got the Club Master. For those who owns a pair of original Ray Ban, here is some information that maybe useful to you. Ray Ban guarantees lifetime warranty on all manufacturing defects. So as long as damage is to to poor manufacturing claims are free. Got my Wayfarer lens replacement as the polarized coating had delaminated. Only cost that was covered by me was shipping and admin fee. They have certainly bought me over on their service quality.
Well that is all I got to share and I hope you all enjoyed.
