Mum and I explored the streets of Chi-chi today. Actually, Chi-chi is not its real name. I started calling it Chi-chi because my friends also call that place 'Chi-chi'. It's a little Chinatown in Davao where people would buy the cheapest things. It's much cheaper compared to malls.

I explored the gargantuan store full of DVD's. Pirated one, of course. All kinds of people were buying them. Rich, poor, young, old... Even Policemen. But wait, selling pirated DVD's is against the law, isn't it? And policemen are protectors of the law, Aren't they? My, what a twisted world we've got.

So, I went from pirated DVDs to wallets and bags. They have a large collection of bags and wallets. Lacoste, Gucci, Guess, Chloe, Coach, you name it. I bet China or even, Manila has a lot more to offer.

In America, it is mandated by the law that people would pay a fine or be behind bars when caught wearing, selling, or owning imitations.

I can't blame people who buy imitations though. The main reason why people buy fake ones is the very unreasonable price of designer goods. Like, a Gucci sunglasses can cost a hundred dollars while the 'Gucci-Gucci-han' would juct cost, what, fifty pesos perhaps?

It's a good investment buying real ones though. It guarantees to last a lifetime. Plus, it can save people from Social suicide. So, give me fake pradas or give me death. ;P
