To Tsukiji we went… the day after our anniversary!


Yes, you read that right. I was unable to wake up in the morning to go to that live auction of tuna and all other fishes.

Actually, I was not the only sinner that day– DH also slept through the alarm hahaha… It has been such a nice, relaxing day for the both of us the night before since we walked the WHOLE day, looking around for second hand bag stores. It was INSANE, I tell you– and for sure I will be telling you more stories about these bag stores when I head back to Manila (complete with photos too).

One thing is certain, the second-hand LV bag prices here in Tokyo are really not as low as I had originally thought. Let’s not even talk about Hermes birkins. The regular leather birkins that are in excellent or new condition command prices well above Y1,000,000. There were so many zeroes that even I had trouble computing them after awhile. I can tell you this much– it was really eye candy for me, and even for DH.

He was extremely overwhelmed. I don’t think we’ll ever see so many birkins in one store ever. We also paid visits to the big department stores like Matsuya, Mitsukoshi. When it said on their shop windows that they’re “On sale”, I was thinking dirt- cheap, rock bottom prices. Boy was I wrong. Men’s shirts are now “Just” Y5,000. I was thinking that Tokyo’s “sale” prices are actually “regular” prices for us. In the U.S., when they say “sale”, they really mean “sale”.

I guess not so in Tokyo. The funny thing is, I think the locals already think they’re getting a bargain with the “marked- down” prices! 🙂

So as you can already imagine, I walked out of these stores empty handed 🙁 Anyway, today’s another day to walk around so more stories to come!!
