YAY!!! So listen… Or read… You know what I mean!!
I got a chance to go to the Lady’s Market in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. It was amazing! I loved the atmosphere and the thrill of bargaining. I try to ignore the scorching heat sickle of an area because the trip and experience is worth it!! There are so many things I wanted to buy! I have to spend wisely of course because it is better to save money. BUT that’s the beauty of it!! You get what you want, and it is because you have more power over what is leaving your pockets!!
What is very ironic is that I thought about myself last looking at everything they are ready to sell. My mother quickly came to mind, as well as my brother, sister, and boyfriend Jason. That is all I wanted to buy for. So far I got two silk Chinese dresses for my mother. Im looking to get her pearls, and shoes to match. They have a lot of counterfeit things, but if you don’t mind or would like nameless brands to be safe, you will be just fine. There are a couple other gifts I am planning on getting, but I don’t want my family to read this blog and find out!!! J Yes I already told my mom about the Chinese silk dress, so it is okay! LOL
Shopping is so exciting, but at a bargain – it is every woman’s dream! For instance, one of the silk dresses cost $180 HK dollars ($23 US dollars). I bargained my way down to get two of them for around the same price ($180). I shopped for a purse today, and they didn’t have the one I wanted. The woman offered me the bag for $360 HK dollars ($46 US dollars) for being “pretty” because it was initially $680 HK dollars – about $87 US (sweet talking doesn’t work when it comes to money, especially with a bad pitch). Long story short – walking away does something to them, which makes them lower the price. Don’t let them bully you or make you get less of what you want! It is your money and always go with YOUR price. I got my bag with the help of my good friend Shanttel for $120 HK dollars!!! That’s about $ 15 US dollars. I already put my stuff in it to wear it tomorrow… LOL
