Last week I was looking on a Dutch website where you can buy second hand  items (marktplaats.nl) like mobile phones, clothes and every other stuff you can imagine, but there wasn't much I was interested in. Then I found Ebay, an international website with new and secondhand items. If you want to buy something you need a credit card, which I don't have so I couldn't buy anything. However, there was another way to pay the items: PayPal. You have probably heard of it, it's a kind of account which is attached to your normal bank account. With uncertainty (because I don't know how it works exactly)  I made a PayPal account and now I am able to buy international items. In the meanwhile, I was looking all over Ebay for all kind of stuff. Initially, I was looking for a mobile phone which stores don't sell anymore, because it is a few years old. On Ebay they sell those phones brand new! So you can imagine I am very happy. I haven't bought it yet, because I am a little bit insecure when it comes to online shopping (especially international, the phone comes all the way from China). So I decided to look for something cheaper first like jewelry or clothes, some fair trade items. Apparently they sell thousands of Fair Trade stuff like clothes, shoes, jewelry, bags, tea and a lot more. I was stunned, because I have searched for such a long time for fair trade clothes here in Holland and it is hard to find them (or it's very expensive). You can't find the clothes I like in H&M or other stores. I only buy the basic shirts in H&M, but I hate it because I know it is made with child labor. Yet on Ebay I found the exact clothes I love (without child labor). They sell such cutes things and I have already some favorite sellers. Today I bought my first two items: a cool winter hippy FAIR TRADE hat and some Tibetan Prayer flags, fair trade as well.  If I have received them I will make a photo of it!  Another nice thing of Ebay is, that you can buy a lot of items with the US dollar so for us here in the Netherlands it is cheaper!  Although I haven't much experience with Ebay, I still recommend people just to take a look! Do you have (bad) experience with buying on Ebay?? Let me (and the readers here) know!

The last entry I wrote here was in Dutch, as you probably read (or saw). It was an older blog I wrote on another website. Anyway, I changed my journal a bit. Instead of the an ‘about me’ part I made a reading list. One of my hobbies is reading books, when time and school allowed me to read. It was a bit unnecessary to have an ‘About me’ part when I already have a profile you can read my interests. So now you can keep track of the books I read and afterwards I will write a review. The last entry is about the Twilight Saga books and I didn’t want to write one in English (how lazy am I? ;) ). Next review will, I promise, be in English. Maybe I will add a list with films I watched too. Anyway, It is not important to explain myself about the Dutch blog, but there isn’t much to talk about =(. I still like to write in English, it’s a good practice and my international friends will be able to read it as well. Even though I make awfully lot of mistakes I can’t find after reading it over a few times.

about my “adventures” in my oh-so interesting life ;) ?
