  1. I still do collect stamps and coins, but I intentionally choose not to get them off the Internet to preserve the treasure hunt. I want my collection to have a story behind them. I may not remember them 100%, but at the very least I should be able to tell you how I got them or who I got them from.

  2. It has never left my playlist since I got my first portable music player back in 2003 though...

  3. In some way, it's also a reminder of how they stole our youth with the stagnation that they have imposed on us and are not content with us not progressing. And that's what I hate most about the faux retro aesthetic. Instead of a bright future that we want to imagine, they steal our past which never was and repackage it while the clock ticks on world issues that we need to solve NOW.

  4. ​ @carolinelong9652 Honestly this makes me appreciate my parents even more. They chose to take things the hard way by going all conventional even though we live in a port city but we really learnt a lot when we travelled and it also helped us cultivate curiosity for other cultures which remains helpful to this day.

  5. ​ @scarlettdamante4945 The reputation was ubiquitous, even in South East Asia where I live in. My father's friend even made a humorous presentation back in the late 70s when they were in polytechnic where he said that the best thing about getting a Japanese car is that you don't need to fix it if you crash it, just trash it and buy a new one and you will still be ahead of the guy who bought the German or American car. That being said Japan did invest a lot into South East Asia so a lot of Japanese brands did their manufacturing in the region before offshoring was cool. You still see Seiko watches being made in Malaysia and Singapore for example.
