Czech Republic is our Baclaran Market in Europe

Blog: Czech Republic Market is our Philippines Baclaran Market here in Europe

Baclaran Market in the Philippines is the shopping market for the Pilipinos with low incomes.

I still come here when I have the chance to do it , when I am in the Philippines for holiday.

And here in Czech Republic is also Market ,like that in Baclaran Market.You can buy here the cheapest products ,mostly imitations from the original brand names like Gucci,Louis Vuitton,Channel, and others in which we,the ordinary people cant afford to buy.

You can also buy here original cigarretes,alcohols and everything you needed,though,some say,not of good quality because they are only pure imitations.

This was my second time to go to this market,and I dont intend to shop because I dont need so much things for me and I dont go into brand names,but,my Pilipina friends and relatives have invited me to go with them.

Well,its a 4 hour drive from my place and going out with friends in a Bus ride is always enjoyable.Last year,we had double deck bus in which all Philipina women were down and germans were above the Bus.

This time,we were all sitting together,but,the germans were all in front of the bus and the foreighners in which we,about 18 pilipina women with 2 Italian men and a German man were all seated at the back.

And this Saturday ( March 31,2007 ) was our trip to the Czech Republic Market.The 2 Italians and a german male are happened to live from my town and work with a Forester (their Boss )married to my Pilipina bestfriend.So, I think they know already our way of characters.

They enjoyed their trip with us,through eating together ( we brought Philippines foods ),joking,laughing and they showed their solidarity with us by paying all our drinks during the trip in the bus.The 3 men have liked us really and wanted to join us again.

If you see me,dont think of me as a rich woman with all brand names with me.I have bags of Louis voutton,sunglass of Channel,wallet of Chloe,belt of D G and sport shoes ,all the latest of Adidas and Puma.No wonder,they are all imitations,Lol! I like the bags,yes,the rest,dont care!

Here are still the items I bought from there all with international brand names,but,remember only imitations )

10 bags worth each 10-18 Euro for me and for all my bestfriends as birthday gift to them.

10 wallets worth each 4 Euro

5 sunglasses worth 3-10 Euro

2 perfumes worth each 3 -7 Euro

20 Sexy underwears each 1-3 Euro

10 Sexy bra worth each 1-3 Euro

1 pair of sandals-( leather made in Italy) 10 Euro

4 pairs of sport shoes -each 10-15 Euros

Rücksack bag-8 Euro

10 T-shirts for my son- each 3-10 Euro

1 sexy top-6 Euro

Here in Germany, I am always looking at bargains, ( Im only working in part time ) and it take time to look for it ,but,here in this market,youll find at once and can really save a lot.

Then went to Thai restaurant:

For our lunch-with drink and ice cream, I paid 9 Euro with tip.

Our trip cost 23 Euro for 1 day.I did not pay for my food in the bus because almost all of my Pilipina friends have food with them and shared to all of us.The 3 men paid all our drinks.

So thats all and Im happy for our next trip again.
