About the same...definitely more expensive by some than in the US. Not like Denmark, Sweden or Norway, though! XD You can get tax refund though for some items, so you better save your receipts! If you do that...I guess certain things become closer to US prices. XD Trust me, you save quite an amount if you do tax refunds. Always ask the cashier about it, say you're an American tourist...some might make you show your passport. XD

Of course, I know you love Charizard. XD Do you have all kinds of Charizard cards? XD

Let's just say...it was really dumb, and a pretty weird story. XD Twice a week, hehe. Just enough for most people. XD

Gender isn't an issue, though Selena would not be caught cross-dressing, hehe. XD Hell, even motif matches work well, not necessarily the bastard thing. XD
