After eating our fill at a mart and a restaurant, we were walking along when a cute Italian stationery shop caught our eye, and of course we dashed inside.

The Italian stationery shop was full of pretty storage boxes and posters.


I loved the clock with its unusually shaped hands.

Back on the street, we found airplanes, cars, and ships made from cans.


Beer cans, cola cans, all turned into art, and it was fascinating.

There was even a gourd-shaped item with a unique pattern. I wanted to buy so many things, but money, as always, was the problem.

My friend was taking a solo photo and I snuck into the frame.


My face reflected in a round globe-like mirror, so I snapped a photo. I only wish it had come out clearer and less blurry.


Exhausted, I flopped down right on the street. Everyone else seemed oblivious to the camera, but my friend and I were totally camera-conscious.

Then we got up to head off to our next stop.
