I'm Finally Here!!!


After 10 years, I was able to go back to  witness this light up and sparkle before my eyes.



On the first day, I reacquainted myself with the tourist attractions, the Metro and the language.  We got to try out new stuff and to window-shop for a bit.  I can't help it.  We arrived at the tail-end of sale season.

I happened to pass by Rue de Cambon and Rue de Saint Honore on our way from the Louvre.  It was a good long walk and all the aching muscles went away when I entered my wonderland.  I am looking forward to knowing this city more intimately.

It is Day 4 of traveling with friends.  


We're still getting used to each person's quirks.  Hopefully, we're still friends by the end of this trip =D

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...

Gratitude Calendar 2024

 I stumbled upon a "challenge" that I thought would be fun and something I can actually do.  I think this will help change my mindset and prepare me for the coming holidays.  Here goes.... Today, I am grateful for the following: 1.  Time for prayer 2.  Convenience of travel and parking when we visited the cemetery 3.  Free lunch
