My Share for #BeautifulSunday initiated by @ace108
As the sun goes down and the street lights turns on. A portion of the street closes giving way for a market which comes alive only at night. Like a shopping mall that invaded the street and offers almost anything that you may need. If you have a good eye you might find a gem within the pile of goods being sold. Welcome to...............
Ukay -Ukay Night Market
The market occupies the whole lane of this street which starts around 9 pm and last past midnight.
The streets are still so alive at this time and even the permanent stalls on the sidewalks are still open. Flower shops are still open and who know someone may want to purchase some flowers for a sweetheart.
All those colors lit by the lamp posts at night is an invitation for everyone. Telling you to come and find something that you might like.
Come and search thru the piles of clothes and if you look closer you might find Prada, Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren and Versace. Out of the rubble are gems which can be bought starting at around $1.00 and who know you might even find a Louis Vuitton bag.
Looking for a denim jacket? There are a lot of choices here for everyone.
There is no shortage of shoes here. A lot are perfect copies which are called class A shoes. There are also original shoes that is if you don't mind slightly used shoes.
For basketball, running or everyday use. Choose your size they have it.
Need some boots for walking?
The night is young and more people are pouring in looking for the perfect bargain. Some of you might not consider second hand clothing but money is hard and we always think of ways to save money at the same time still dress good. Even some local stars are seen buying from this market which boosted the trade.
A few years ago I bought jackets and coats here. Soak it with hot water and with a deep wash it should be perfect.
Need blankets and comforters on a cold night? Maybe I'll skip this one but the patterns are unique and would be very hard to find.
Still there are brand new items sold aswell. Like these pajamas which are locally made. How about a Hello Kitty pajama.........in pink.
A box full of stuffed toys and can you spot the pilot teddy bear?
Next we move to the wood crafted goods which are popular as home decorations and souvenirs.
All sorts of keychains, ref magnets perfect for giveaways. If you have an itchy back look no further in the bucket are hand crafted back scratcher.
Buy accessories like bracelets and necklaces made from wood, metal and beads. You could even catch a dream with a dream catcher.
Now this is something I missed and would have bought a wooden bowl and plate. Maybe next time when we come back. That bowl would look perfect on the kitchen table.
Full of color, full of life the Ukay -Ukay Night Market in Baguio City. Look around even if you are not buying anything. Who know it might get you spending when you see that Armani jacket that still looks perfect.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed the photos and the tour around the market.
