In Japan, women are said that they really like shopping. How is your country? Our generation, unlike my father's generation who directly go to shops and buy something there, have a chance to get something by mail order such as Amazon. We pay by credit card then, which is common in North America, even though Japanese people usually use cash in shops. people in some countries try to negotiate a shop assistant regularly when they buy something. Japanese people don't do that unless we go to special market where people can ask to discount.
Some users on Lang-8, who were asked the reasons why they study Japanese by be and answered that they want to visit one day, had better visit Japan as soon as they can if they want to buy a lot here. Because our sales tax will increase thanks to recent main regime in Japan. you can change and refund easily if you have defective products in Japan. It is partly because shops compete the ready service to solve the claims of customers. It is proud quality for Japan.

I thought my country's Orchard Road was worst. I went to Japan, I was shocked at how crazy the shopping options are available. LOL...
Japan does not widely accept credit card still. It is still predominantly a cash country. I remembered trying to buy a thing at quite a big shop and they only accepted cash! I was laughing and surprised.
You are right. Even though our nation is great materialistic county, our generation in Japan who should be productive generation tends to be lazy to strive to make something nice like my father's generation who supported rapid economic growth once. Thus, economic in Japan is depressed little by little.
I have never been to Singapore. I'm looking forward to going there one day.
You could not have helped laughing for such a situation. We have to change this situation in order to develop some parts of our country internationally.

How is it in your country?
Our generation, unlike my father's generation who directly go to shops and buy something there, often do their shopping online through sites such as Amazon.
people in some countries try to negotiate/barter/haggle with the shop assistant regularly when they buy something.
Japanese people don't do that unless we go to special market where people can ask for a discount.
Some users on Lang-8, who were asked the reasons why they study Japanese by me, answered that they want to visit one day. (They had better)* visit Japan as soon as they can if they want to buy a lot here.
*This sounds a little strong, perhaps even a little rude. Instead, try 'If they want to buy a lot here, they'll have to visit Japan sooner rather than later'.

Try not to start a sentence with 'because'
It is partly because shops compete the ready service (?) to solve the claims of customers.
I'm not too sure what you mean by 'ready service' I'm afraid >_<
It's a quality Japan is proud of.
