Hola !! Bienvenidos queridos visitantes 🌷 | Hello!! Welcome dear visitors 🌷
My mom and I went downtown because she had some things to buy and so did I. My trip to the beach is almost here and I was missing some things that I hadn't been able to buy due to lack of time. Whenever we shop in my city, we mostly go to these stores we call "the Chinese stores." In Venezuela, if there isn't a store like this, it's not Venezuela 🤭 because you can find everything here. As people say, "Nobody knows what they need until they go into a Chinese store."
When I go shopping at this store, it reminds me a lot of the years 2007-2009 when I used to go with my mom to the Chinese store when I was just a little girl. Walking through these aisles where the things are made me remember those times when I would tell her that I wanted her to buy me anything I fancied, but I remember that she would tell me that we would go buy it later. I was always left wanting her to buy me something from there, and although she did sometimes, I was always happy when she bought me a coloring book, a toy, or a pretty doll.
And the thing is, you can find everything at the Chinese stores, from appliances to household items, shoes, bags, makeup, drinks—you can really find everything there. Some really pretty white bags caught my eye, and even though I wanted them all, well, friends, we can't buy them all. Now I'm a responsible adult and I have to manage my money. I can't be that little girl anymore who wanted everything she saw and had it bought for her. Now everything is different, and no matter how much I want something, I should only buy what I need. And that's when Chinese stores become a challenge for someone who's a compulsive shopper. 😄
I wasn't the only one looking at things that seemed pretty. My mom is really drawn to the section selling vases and cups, I prefer the makeup, appliances and household items section, and of course the candy section, but we didn't go there because I definitely wanted a candy and I had a bit of an upset stomach, so we didn't go to that section. Besides, they were arranging some boxes of candy, at least putting them on the empty shelves.
After several minutes looking at some things we needed to buy, it was time to pay, and with this our tour of the Chinese store concludes. Tell me what catches your attention the most about the place, I'll read you in the comments 😎.
