I’ve been to Greenhills enough now to start feeling more comfortable in its giant maze. Its still organized chaos in there, but a least I’m starting to notice the “organized” bit, and its less scary as the jigsaw puzzle pieces that make up the layout are starting to come together in my mind.
If you don’t know Greenhills, its a giant covered market with distinct sections selling a wide variety of stuff. There’s the clothing section specializing in “knock offs” of everything. There’s the shoe section, the handbag section…and of course, the best known section: pearls (which are not knock offs, by the way).
Greenhills was the first stop on Paul and Nikki’s packed 8-day tour of The Philippines, as they came out to visit over Christmas. It was a lively first stop and they did very well, especially considering the jetlag and mental overload of stepping out on to the street of Manila for the first time.
There’s just so much stuff! Shop fast and hard, and live to shop another day!
Um, dried frog purses? Eeek. I’m sure that you were the best tour guides for Paul & Nikki. I’d certainly need one in Greenhills Market!

It certainly was a baptism of fire! A sensual overload! But we loved it and came away with lots of pearls and fake designer handbags for the girls!
