Department Stores

I was advised to visit Isetan. It's huge, like the department stores
in NY. Maybe not as big as Macy's but up there. This one had two full
buildings. Actually, it reminded me more of Paris than NY.

Apparently all the department stores are owned by the same people as
own the trains, so they've build big department stores on top of all
the mail train stations to increase revenues. Brilliant!

The inside looks much the same as other department stores around the
world--Armani, Gucci and Prada clothes that cost more than the annual
salary of a Thai worker.
