Tops and Bottoms.: Whatever you want.

by planxty

I am getting rather worried about the amount of shopping tips I am writing about the Philippines, it really is not my area of expertise at all, I cannot stand shopping but here we go again.Due to a laundry failure (I forgot it was the housekeeper's day off where I stay), I was in urgent need of a couple of items of clothing. Such are the joys of travelling for months on end with less than 10kg. of checked baggage but I'll live with it. My friend who live locally suggested Tops and Bottoms was the place to go and so I sallied forth expecting some sort of clothing shop. It is certainly that but a whole lot more besides as it has just about everything you would ever need including a disturbingly wide selection of knuckle dusters and butterfly knives. Not being in the mood to start a war, I settled for a pair of shorts, a T-shirt and some bungee cords to attach my luggage to the bike for a...

Street vendors, Boulevard.: This ship will sail.

OK, we have all done it. We have all bought the souvenir that looked so wonderful when we set eyes on it and then brought it home and it looked hideous. Same thing with the local specialist liquer that, once back in your fridge, tasted like diesel. However, in context, some things look quite magnificent and, if you look at he craftsmanship involved in the fully rigges sailing ship pictured, you can see the inherent beauty of it, the work involved is quite amazing. I have examined this thing up close and the rigging really is quite complicated.I realise the image does not give a decent sense of scale (this one is rigged to the roof of a friends restobar) so I will tell you the hull is about three feet (one metre) long, so you can work the rest out yourself.This section of VT asks me to describe a shop and I am afraid I cannot. There may well be some place in a shoppng centre in Manila...

Robinson's Mall.: Everything under one roof.

It is rarely that I write shopping tips. Shopping is probably one of my least favourite activities so this tip is somewhat of collectors item.Dumaguetenos, liks most Philippinos, tend to shop in the markets and small shops that abound but there seems to be an increasing trend towards large shopping malls. Robinson's and SM seem to be the largest operators in this area. The Robinson's mall is large and contains just about every shop you could want as well as a huge number of food outlets, many of which are situated in a foodcourt on the upper level. There is another area to the rear given over to restaurants with outdoor seating which is popular in the evening.The complex also has a multiscreen cinema and there are several atm's there should you need one. You can get just about anything you need. Slightly more expensive than the markets.

Lee Paza: Hypermarkt

by whitebear

Lee Plaza is the biggest shopping store in Negros Oriental. You can find all you need, the shop has a supermarket downstairs and 4 levels. Only they do not have the big sizes. Dumaguete has no specialities to mention. Reasonable prices,
