How much does a Japanese single pay for a pet?

Hi Everyone,

I visited Isetan yesterday.

It looks like I visit Isetan almost daily, LOL.

Istan Shinjuku is the No.1 department store in the women fashion. Maybe No.1 department store all round in Japan.

Hankyu Umeda has a good reputation but I haven’t been there. Umeda is in Osaka, and it takes almost 3 hours by super express.

I have read that Isetan and Hankyu had the best service. I wrote as the past tense, as some people say it is not true anymore. I can stil see a different between Isetan and others. Isetan employees seem to know products well. They also move and reply quickly.

There are always some exhibits at stairs like this:

I had an interesting chat with a shop manager of makeup company.

He is 188cm tall and good looking so he stands out at the makeup floor. He says his father is a Spanish with 2m tall, and that is how he becomes tall. His mother is Japanese.

What he is good at is that he sees me as someone who buys on behalf of others and doesn’t talk a lot about makeup, LOL.

Topics of yesterday was a dog.

He said, ‘he has three dogs.’ Bulldog, Irish Setter and Chihuahua.
Very rarely I see an English bulldog in Japan so I asked how much he paid.
He said ‘840,000 yen!’ (8000 USD)

I joked to him how good the company paid but still….

He says that he is single and that he doesn’t spend much money on anything else so it was not a difficult decision.

Those dogs with a different shape of mouth need special treatment – French bull, Pug, Bulldog, etc. So he needs to spend more time than on other dogs, but he looks happy)

Hakuhodo has a plastic cover on each brush now so that customers cannot try them now.
