Shopping spree and the Shopaholic(s) ;) wink! wink!
Let me take you through the shopping streets of Sydney.. may it be the Chinese Markets popularly known as the Paddy markets (Paddington markets) where you can buy ANYTHING – can u imagine a Louis Vuitton or a Prada or a D&G with the logo (ofcourse stuck outside :P ) but still for a bargain price of 25$. Does it sound astonishing? Hmm its not exaggeration.. tats how it is.. n forget conversions once u get into such markets.. Obviously its big money in INR but for them a tee or a cardigan for 5bucks.. sounds damn cheap huh?? And the shoes u get omg trust me.. I haven’t seen shoes in candy shades… purply pink, smoky blue or a fluorescent green... u cant help but jus blink as the shades r tat strong to keep ur eye lids open.. :D..and all te cute lil stuff they hav from a cigar lighter to a key ring or a backpack to glares/caps , skateboard’s –u have it all in one place. but ya people prefer tis place jus for BULK purchases :D come on guys its cheap… ;)
If u hav experienced, it’s too hard to bargain wit the chinkis (Chinese/Japanese/Koreans) . even for a cent they wil tell a big fat “NOOO”..(adopted from the Russell Peters show ;) – still it’s a fact :D ) n to get them understand wat u mean.. aah forget it.. it’s a big pain in the ass !! so u better agree to their price.. which I shud admit, is pretty reasonable.. and gals.. cosmetics here are awesome..u get hell lot of stuff for jus peanuts ;) and u all must hav imagined and known.. Makeover n makeup is a MUST in Oz.. even to drop a garbage bag.. u must b wit compact n blush and ya eye shades n lip shades as an add-on :D else u feel kinda out of place.. Hmmm… applies anywhere I guess… DRESS UP & SHOW UP.. rest all is jus a continuation of these two !! :P
OK here comes the big thing… the MYERS, PANDORA, QVB, OPAL stores,DFO not to forget the Westfield’s’ and CENTRE-s- they are shopping malls in almost all the main suburbs…
Suburbs…ok I am not deviating from the main story.. but 1st lemme put some gyan on the topography of Oz – NSW in particular. NSW- New South Wales is the state with Sydney as its main City of attraction. Sydney has been broadly divided into suburbs-CBD, SOP, Strathfield, Rhodes, Sevenhills...to name a few, basically lot of hill’s,field’s,wood’s and sham’s ;) . CBD is the main City – Darling Harbour, Opera House, and The Rocks,QVB(Queen Victoria Building) adding glory to the most happening place. Major attractions include ferrying from the harbour to the surrounding beaches – Manly, Bondi and also to the Parramatta river, then pubs, movies, clubs and shops J
Back to shopping.. n shopping places..
MYERS is considered to be the biggest branded shop where u can find almost all the popular brands from Jimmy choo to Chanel or from Gucci to Burberry… which u can gaze at but think zillion times to afford one… sorry to concentrate mainly on girlish brands guys ;) PANDORA is a brand which basically designs jewellery with different colored, shaped and sized beads n strings, mostly in silver. Looks awesome but at the same time pretty expensive (haven’t gotta chance to buy one yet L )
QVB aka Queen Victoria Building is well known for its historical value and also the types of huge clocks they have. Mainly 2 clocks and each of them are designed differently and very artistic I shud say.QVB also described as the “most beautiful shopping centre in the world” by Pierre Cardin, a shopping paradise- has many shops of major brands – GUESS, FOSSIL, ESPIRIT to name a few.

Most of u must b knowing Oz gold, corals and opals r famous, as they considered to b the purest at the same time expensive.. so we hav a lot of opal and pearl stores…all cute n beautiful .last but not to b excluded.. the DFOs – Direct factory outlets.. replica of our Brand factory or Coupon, but u get to buy more stuff at te same time cheap deals J
… more stories and more places …to b cont’d until then.. ;)
Cheers & Js,
Anu
