Lucky Bags 福袋

I came back to my tiny 9 sq meter Japan dorm only to find out that our floor's toilets had broken down and pipes in the washroom are leaking. On top of that, I have flu and sore-throat from too much unhealthy spicy and fried Singapore goodies. But, nothing,  NOTHING can stop me from scoring a L'occitane "Lucky Bag" which I had ordered 3 weeks ago from Hankyu online shopping mall and delivered today. This item was sold out within the first day. Muah-hahaha.

我回到我的小小日本9平方米房間，竟然發現這樓的廁所壞掉，洗手間的水管也漏水。不止這樣，我還因為吃太多油炸的新加坡美食而導致傷風喉嚨痛。可是！沒有任何東西能阻止我買到L'occitane的福袋!!! 這福袋是我3週前從Hankyu網購回來的，今天送到。福袋當天就售完了，可是我搶到了喔！哇哈哈哈～～～

These lucky bags are only sold during the New Year. They're usually packed with items that are worth more than the bags' selling price. Contents are usually unknown, adding a sense of mysteriousness as to what you'll get. I ordered this set because it's said that you'll get 35,000yen worth of items for the price of only 10,500yen. Well, I'm a sucker for these, so I bought one bag to try out.

這些福袋只有在新年的時候才推出。通常裡面的東西價錢都會在福袋以上。雖然內容通常是個迷，但是卻有一種神秘感。這福袋的內容值35,000yen卻賣10,500yen，所以我也買了一袋試試。

I was initially disappointed at the set because it had nothing that I was looking for. However on a closer look, it is quite interesting to uncover what kind of products I'd received. We don't usually purchase these items unless it is bundled like this, so in a way it is a clever tactic by merchants to clear old stock and offer/force customers to try on the lesser known products. I will try them out bit by bit and remember how lucky I was to get the bag!

Have a Happy New Year everyone !!! :D

剛開幕的時候，因為沒有我要的東西，所以對這套有點失望。可是仔細瞧瞧之後，發現挖掘新產品的過程還蠻有趣的。除非是像這樣一套賣的，要不然我們平時都不會買這些冷門產品。不愧是零售商想出的鬼點子，讓顧客試試比較冷門的產品，同時也清理舊貨。我會慢慢一個一個試用，然後想起我有多幸運拿到這個福袋！
祝大家過個快樂的新年！！！ :D
