Back to Mommy Duties

My mother and I arrived last night from our 4 day stay in Bangkok. Needless to say, I was so tired from the trip that we were all asleep by 9PM. We spent the first two days shopping. Half of the third day was spent in bed recuperating from an upset stomach. Monday morning was also devoted to getting better.

Being alone with my mother proved to be beneficial and unfavorable at the same time. With her, I got to be a kid again. It was nice to feel that I didn't have to look out for anyone. She took care of the food, the itinerary, the meds and other mommy-related stuff. Unfortunately, I'd had to put up with her unsatiable urge to shop. We no longer had room in our luggage, she still bought stuff. Twenty minutes before our pick-up schedule, she hied off to the nearest mall.

So now, I am back to my responsibilities. New challenges and concerns welcomed me. Hay, back to earth na talaga.

We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
