That’s when I realized the terrible truth. We couldn’t stop.

　　Dear readers, it shames me to admit it, but I am an addict of online shopping site Taobao.

　　And I don't think I’m the only one. __D__

　　I see the telltale signs every where: People with bags under their eyes, clearly exhausted after staying up late browsing items they might one day need (but probably won’t)，like the 1940s leather aviator cap I bought in the event I ever need to become an aviator in the 1940s. I see co-workers furtively (偷偷摸摸地）sneaking down to the mailroom, eyes darting around suspiciously.

　　I know what's going through your mind as you read this.

　　“This isn’t me，” you’re thinking, “I can stop anytime I want.”

　　But can you?

　　In China you can get same day delivery for just about anything you buy online. In Australia, my home country, the same item would take weeks to arrive.

　　“It's the convenience," I said to my fiancée. “That’s why we're hooked.”

　　But is that convenience worth the risk of waking up one morning to discover you’ve been buried alive in masses of brand new women’s shoes?

　　In my case it’s probably not, especially because I suspect my fiancée won’t realize I'm missing until weeks later, when my credit card stops working and I've long since expired.
