A more elegant traveler would for sure answer- Seminyak.
Afterall, it is a much quieter place, where the slightly "richer" travelers would stay.

The year was 2014. In Dubai particularly. A heated debate was going on in my mind while shopping.
"Come on, take that Clarisonic Mia with you in the counter." A compelling voice said.
"Oh no, the price tag would break your wallet. It's not reasonable, Jolly." Another voice resonated.
I walked slowly into the counter, with the most expensive "beauty tool" I was about to have. And then it hit me. My visa card wasn't in my purse. I left it where I was staying. I was brokenhearted to say the least.

For once, I want to be selfish! I don’t want people to discover Taiwan and its awesomeness! So if you are reading this, promise me one thing: you’ll just read away and NEVER book a ticket, alright? :P
Overwhelming. Yes- apparently it is the most descriptive word I can come up with when beauty shopping in Japan! Japan almost has everything from food, makeup, skin care and beauty tools. Amazing!

Here, I'm going to list down the top five (5) beauty buys you shouldn't miss:
"Should I get it?". A small voice in my head miraculously kept talking to me.
"But I just picked up three lipsticks this week. I am sure I don't need another one." Another voice reasoned out.
And by some epiphany, my hand raised itself, casually picking one color I was so sure I never had.
I was in denial.
Sh*t.
- Because it's 2017 now and 2016 needs a review.-
I've been very bad in 2016. Like really bad. Slacking off a little (or perhaps too much). Been to some places, met new people along the way, struggled with internal conflicts in mid-April till May, but ended the year on the streets of Taipei. What a year it was!
