    Well, I consider phones an investment which is silly, but I'm fine paying $600 for a phone I plan to use every day for 5 years. I financed my current, but almost have it paid off and I'm buying my next out right like I had before. I paid I think $700 for my HTC U11 and before that like $300 which is dirt cheap by comparison for the Oneplus 5T which is a very good phone from a company on the rise in Asia, but I let my gf have that when her phone gave out. I'm strongly considering an iPhone 8 come this fall when the new phones are unveiled, it'll probably go down quite a bit and minimalism has taught me that renewed phones are entirely viable and a lot cheaper.

    I believe in Canada it's now illegal to lock phones (or you can request unlock right away), or to charge an unlocking fee, thankfully..so I never really felt a need to buy outright.

    Ohhhh, you do contracts. I only buy GSM fully unlocked phones. A free phone isn't worth it for the $80-$100 a month for plans. I'll never sign a year or two contract with anything, much less one of the big four I. E. AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile.

    Canada seems different than the US when it comes to this. There isn't much of an option. buying a phone outright is way too expensive here. I could be wrong, I've never bought a phone outright tbh. Luckily it's only 2 years though.

    I'm interested in your opinion, how is the record?

    I really liked it when it first released but i honestly haven't paid much attention to it since. It's by no means a bad record but I was never a Gossip stan so i don't have that connection to the history of some of the guys in the band. I went back to it the other day though and it kind of rekindled my love for it and I'm looking forward to new stuff.

    I was out in Asakusa late at night, around 2AM with a friend from Uruguay when cops pulled over and searched our entire bags and IDs, passports etc. I suspect for drugs. They were pretty nice about it when they didn't find anything, especially when they saw my passport as Canada lol..... and shook our hands. I guess we were just irregulars on their nightly patrol. They said the specific place we were was a bit dicey with clubs around which I didn't know. Was a bit shook but they were nice. They didn't really harass us or anything.

    This was the only time this happened though, and tbh I did understand it so I don't have any hard feelings.

    A Mexican friend I met at the hostel said he was stopped by cops 5 times in the first week he was there, though. He didn't seem to mind and acted like it was normal but...sounded like racial profiling to me.
