  • Today's adventure was a fake market challenge to see how far my money could go on Bugis Street in Singapore. In 2022 Singapore was the MOST expensive city in the world so let's just see how much money I spend today!

    Hello David! I just want to share a bit of information with you. Don't get too hung up on "original" or copied (made somewhere in Asia). I've learned this years ago while shopping inside a "Ralph Lauren" store in San Diego, California, and even in one of the major department stores. I found a knit shirt which I think was superbly made, with fine stitching, and very soft cotton. When I look inside the label for size, the other label attached to it says "Made in the Philippines" hahaha! Then another time, it was made in India. Basketball shoes, AT A NIKE STORE that I am buying for my niece in the Philippines (I was going there for a vacation), the latest style, cost a lot of money, MADE IN CHINA... for myself, on a different store, I was lucky to find Puma shoes made in the US. Otherwise, the majority of designer brands here in the US are made somewhere in Asia.

      as for green hills i bought like 12 chanel j12 chrono in white ceramic or 35 a piece talked them down from 60 at diff vendors... ended up selling them as replicas for 300 a piece at a local flea market in st louis area...
      i think the watches is the only thing worth to buy personally... if u know the watches well anyways
      and STAY AWAY FROM QUIAPO!!!!! my ex brother in law took me there once n carried a gun... and my ex yelled at him to bring me there... tho that was back in 2009 maybe its changed? quiapo and tondo U DONT TREAD ON!!
