Feeling beastly as I shopped

Greenhills what?!

My cousin took me back to Greenhills to do my favorite thing...SHOP. Now this is the place to do it. If you want any kind of replica anything it's here. And if it is popular in the US then the chepaer it gets and the more you can bargain. Take a Louis Vuitton Mongram Speedy 30 for example. This is a popular bag back at home but will cost you about $750. Here you can get a replica for about Php1200 but you can talk them down to let's say Php900. That's about $20. You can get the Class A bag which is closer to the real thing, even made of leather (they'll hold a lighter up to it to show you) for about Php2000 which is about $45. Here is the best part, the more you buy from the same vendor the more you can save. They keep adding on the discounts. Oh, even better, they will even give you a Louis Vuitton Class A dustbag and shopping bag. It was a little overwhelming and very fascinating.

You can get other things at Greenhills like Filipino handicrafts, linens, clothes, t-shirts, jewelry (there is an excellent pearl "mall" there), electronics, etc. They wanted to also take us to Divisoria or 168 mall because the bargains are even better but they said it was too dangerous especially because we were foreigners. Michael would've given us away. We actually had him stay behind in another aisle or part of the store while we were bargaining so we could get away with more. I was advised not to talk but you know me. I couldn't resist while shopping!
