Asian Online Shops: LightInTheBox

I’m sooo into online shopping. And while I used to think that online shopping is only widespread in US or in Europe, well, I’m happy to report now that there are a lot of online shopping sites from the Asian region or selling items primarily from Asia. Right now, I’m having a real fun time discovering these Asia-based online shopping sites and I’ll be featuring shops I find on a regular basis.

The great thing about shopping on these Asian based sites is that, we all know that a lot of products worldwide are sourced in China and other Asian countries. So there are times you get real good deals if you buy direct specially from wholesaler sites. Anyway, I’ve been looking for digital luggage scales to go with my luggage sets. We have a lot of traveling to do beginning July of this year, so I wanna buy stuff I need beforehand.

My search led me to LightintheBox.com. I used to buy from this site for some electronic gadgets and I didn’t realize that the site have expanded to carry a lot more items. This site have a really extensive inventory. Popular categories are Wedding and Events and a lot of people take advantage of their gowns at really low prices. Also noteworthy is their Electronics, Cellphones, and Car Tech categories, all with very affordable items.

They also accept Paypal payments so this is a big plus for me. I’m browsing their electronics products and I’m kinda deciding on to buy or not to buy an Android tablet.

Do visit the site and get a load of affordable, China sourced items.

Welcome to PinkChopsticks!

Hello! Ni hao! Konnichiwa! Chao! Mabuhay! 

I’m PinkSushi and welcome to Pinkchopsticks! This blog is all about living, exploring and celebrating all things Asian. Why Asia? I am an Asian. I was born and raised in the Philippines and now I’m living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I am proudly Asian. 

Traveling around different Asian countries made me realize just how unique and diverse Asia is. Not only in geography and natural environment, but also in people, languages, culture and traditions, lifestyle and more.

Asia is the world’s largest continent and covers about 30% of the worlds total land area. Asians make up about 3/5 of the world’s population with more than 4 billion people. So what could be better than exploring the richness in culture and diversity of the Asian region?

I’ll be making regular updates on Asian culture and traditions, trivia, fun finds, travel and places, cuisine, lifestyle, technology and innovation, latest news, well just about anything Asian.

As for the site name – Pinkchopsticks, Pink, because well I’m a girl and I love pink. Chopsticks, I asked several people what are the first words that come up to their minds when they hear the word Asia, and I got several answers of: chopsticks! Hence the name Pinkchopsticks. I’ll also be using the penname PinkSushi.Hmmn, obviously, I love Japanese sushi..
