Ukay Ukay Baguio

For my friends: ito ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ako nakasama sa Matabungkay…

Hindi dahil sa aso! Ungas! Nasa Baguio ako…

…and since I’m already familiar with the sites here, I decided to dedicate my short weekend trip to window shop instead.

I was curious why Baguio is popular for its Ukay Ukay stores so I patiently checked for some good finds. I was actually surprised that a lot of things are authentic Prada, Burberry, Gucci etc. – though most of them are old and already used. :S

Just a warning for some Ukay shoppers; don’t be faked with some displayed high-priced items. I noticed that some designer bags are sold for 3k and above but after “scrutinizing” them, they’re just imitations.

It’s fun though. I think I consumed 3 hours roaming around the Ukay stores and I ended up buying 1 item for 100 pesos; which unfortunately, looked like an apron when I fitted it in the hotel.  Haha! Wretched.
