J'aime faire du shopping!

This afternoon Jemilla and I had a mother-daughter outing to a suburb called Sham Shui Po.It's a hotspot for both locals and tourists for three reasons. First, it is considered one of the cheapest places in Hong Kong, if not the world, to buy computer parts. (Boring!) It's also famous for shop after shop selling every colour of cloth, sash, ribbons and buttons you can imagine. (Still yawning.) One side street in Sham Shui Po, however, is known for its wholesale party products and toys. (Now you're talking!)

We stocked up on several Christmas presents for Keegan and Tirzah.

Then...we hit the Barbie mother lode in one street. Check out some of our bargain buys going straight to the present cupboard:

    Looks like you girls had a lovely time together. Did Jem spend any of her pocket money? My girls would go wild I think!
