First of all, Primark. I actually went into a Penney's, but it's owned by Primark, and the label on my new jeans says Primark, so there. I left for a tour yesterday morning and I realized I didn't want to be wearing my shorts, so I stopped into Penney's looking for some jeggings or the like. I found a great pair of jeans on sale for 6.80, which have become my blue best friend. I washed them in the hostel sink, AFTER they dyed my legs, and I'm currently hoping our window can dry them out enough to wear today! Primark has EVERYTHING. I was only on one floor of three, but it was like a Ross, Forever 21, Jc Penny, and Walgreens combined. I was in love. Beautiful.
Next I needed a watch, so I stopped into a store recommended to me by the receptionists. It's called Argos, and it was a strange but lovely experience. They have three different stations inside, a catologue station, a pay station, and a counter to pick up your goods. So, you flip through a MASSIVE book of all the things they offer. When you find something you like, you type in the numbers on a screen to check if it is in stock. If it is and you want it, you write it down and take it to a pay station. They have card and cash stations. I went to a cash station and typed in the product code. After verifying everything I wanted, I paid the machine and it gave me a receipt. A screen over the pick up counter said my order was being processed, and about a minute later, a lady came out and called my number. She handed me a little box and a warranty and told me to have a nice day. And that is how I bought this amazing little time telling machine for 6.99 yesterday :)

Kinda sounds like a store that used be in Provo and I loved it, La Belle's.
