Politics is every where in daily life when people gather and decide to make some type of thing together. For example when we choose the place we hang out, we need politics, or when we choose what we order in Izakaya, we need politics (espetially among Japanese). and unexpectedly, when we go shopping with friend, we need politics.
Many Japanese youth, especially girls, like to go shopping alone because going shopping together needs compromise and patience. Japanese girls relly like fashion, and they have their own particular style. ( Japanese girl' fashion genres are pretty varied and each girl cultivates their own style by mixing these genres.) So when they go to shopping, the shops they want to go and amount of time they want to spend in these shops are each different. Outfits in Japan are expensive, so girls think, " I want to choose carefully". But if we go shopping with friends, we have to stop at shops the other girl wants to go, and I'm not interested in that. Often, it would be an uncomfortable or annoying time.
To avoid this situation, girls talk and know what they want to go, and make solutions. For example, some girls choose to go together even if they knows it's annoying, because they also know going togather has some benefits. Also, others choose to spread out when they arrive at shopping destination. They plan what time and where they'll meet up. Or others choose to go completely alone even if shops or area they want to go are same.
The way they choose to take are different, but to get the solution, thet have to talk and find solution which is good for both of them.

返信削除hmm.. some might think it's a wasting of time with others browsing clothes, cosmetics, shoes and ect.. I would be neutral, maybe because of my personality or I'm free to follow with.
Just depends, and yeah, it's wise when comes choosing valuable things carefully.
