I never expected that there would be thousands of people in 168. I knew it could be crowded but not parang sardinas
ang tao.

168 beams with people- oh my buhay

This is a haven for mandurukut. There’s a constant public address announcement to watch and secure personal belongings like wallets, bags and cellphones.

168 goers- oh my buhay

I wanted to buy buko but it was taking forever. And I realized naku baka bigla akong ma-weewee and where would I go?

There are so many interesting things to buy
098

An authentic Hermes in alligator leather sells for P3 million pesos in Hongkong.
No one would ever believe that the person carrying this would actually spend that much money. And even if it’s original, it’s not a good thing to be seen with a P3M bag.
Attention rich ladies: Do not flaunt your wealth by carrying a P3M bag unless you are Jinky or Aling Dionisia.

Hermes wanna-buy

Chaotic Divi- oh my buhay

We did not finish our shopping because it was debilitating to be in the midst of this chaos. Parang nahihilo na ako.
We walked back to Lucky Chinatown Mall

I’m just guessing that the sisters have more bargaining powers.

Let’s bring home some egg tarts

  3. Nakakatawa ang mga cover for plantsahan! hahaha!
    Grabe! Ang daming tao! Nakakahilo nga makisama sa kapal ng tao dun.
    I love Divisoria and all the palengkes – sarap mag usisa at syempre mamili rin. We have our all-time sukis sa Cavite City palengke. I-chichismis nila kapwa nila tindera/tindero pag nagtitinda ng bilasa/bulok/ubod mahal etc.
    Walang maitago dun! LoL!
    Thanks for this post. 😉
