the wonders of divisoria!

i went down to divisoria this weekend and i had a blast!

i got there around 9am where the multitudes that visit the shopping mecca that is divisoria has just started to build up. divisoria is the place to go for anything and everything -- i tell you they sell anything you can think of.

• first of all, you have to go there in comfortable clothing -- you don't dress up when you go to divisoria. oh, and leave the bling behind -- you can't wear flashy jewellry lest you attract the wrong attention.
• be prepared to get your feet trodden and trampled so put on your grubbiest pair of sneaks.
• you have to have a list when you go there because you will get sidetracked into buying just about everything that you can see.
• next, you will need a budget -- if you have a target in mind then stregthen your resolve and do not falter. if you are out for a bargain then be prepared to haggle -- oh, the joys of haggling best adrenalin rush you can get without doing death defying stunts.
• the trick is knowing where to go so i suggest you ask around -- may be a cliche but knowing is half the battle.
• be on your guard against pickpockets so take care where you keep your money.
• keeping up with the crowds can be harrowing so, if you're going with friends be sure to have a rally point so you don't lose each other.

if you don't mind the stench, the crowds and all that walking the experience is well worth it.
