Firenze Part 1

our next destination...
and where all the shopping began:)

We got lucky again..to be given a studio apartment very close to Santa Maria Novella station and San Lorenzo Market.There were rows of halal kebab nearby so that was the reason why i had my favorite Falafel for breakfast ;)
(mental note: I love Falafel!i miss Ar-Rawsyar's)

I recommend for real shopaholics to visit this city, for you will get a splendid value of money ( as in shopping wise,ok!)
However, in my point of view, i can say that in Italy (almost in every cities here), only the Italian designers are cheap/cheaper.
German's Hugo Boss for instance, is much more expansive here rather than in the UK. Same goes with American's Timberland, Calvin Klein ( to name a few).

The Mall is one of the best designer outlet in Italy, located in Tuscany about an hour drive from Florence. Definitely a must-visit place while you're in Florence. Woohooo!!!As you can see...shopping sampai malam.haha!it was so much fun, going in and out the fitting rooms!i have to thank abg zaid for being a good 'butler??' throughout the evening. The 'upah' was an Armani shirt, so that he would help me carry those black paper bags.muahaha!

oh i forgot to mention about us meeting 2 Malaysian girls there. I was busy with the Gucci SA whilst i heard someone talking in Malay. Going back time, we approached them and finally make friends with them. One of them is currently studying in Milan, pursuing her degree in Montessori.
We exchanged email address/phone numbers, had a long chat and went back to Florence together.

Hi Ileena :). Ive been there too! ;pp. Wahhh, seronok tgk u shopping. Last time ive been to Italy, i can't get my hands on anything (except the murano and the souvenirs) since we need the money to travel to all of the places in Italy. Of all the places, i enjoyed Venice and Rome the most, and i consider Firenze, Milan, Lake Como and Pisa was just okay. It was a nice trip and it'll be a must to visit, again. :)
