1. I bought three of these glass ornaments from Austria. Baka kasi mabasag lang so I bought only a few.
2. Ever since I started traveling, table napkins were one of my favorite shopping finds. Lalung-lalo na nung bago pa lang ako naga-travel, they’re light to carry and light on the pocket.
3. Shopping with limited budget can be fun also. I was telling Edmund the other day about my early travels to Europe. I never went inside luxury brand stores like Chanel and the like. I enjoyed going to smaller souvenir and curio shops for little things that were more affordable. Things that I really enjoyed having. Like this tiny rooster from Austria. Buying expensive stuff is just a result of commercialism. One does not need to have thousands and thousands of cash and fat credit limit to enjoy shopping in foreign land.
4. There was a night market temporarily set up behind the cathedral in Vienna for the Christmas season. I enjoyed looking at the arts and crafts by artisans from Austria, not from China. A little bit more expensive but we have to appreciate their talents, skills, craftsmanship, coming up with original ideas, not copying from others.

If only it was easy to ship breakable tree ornaments
Lovely hand-painted ceramics
I wanted to buy a few pieces pero ang bigat and my bags were already filled to the brim. The owner said they have these items available on line. I misplaced the flyer. My sister said similar items are available in the US.
