So-Much-For-Not-Shopping Trip

After 3 days back to work from Hong Kong, I set off to my New Year oriental adventure in Beijing. Beijing was all out on tour, a rare occasion for me as I mostly do free and easy. It was expected that travelling and communication is a major challenge so tour was the safest.

Being on tour somehow stops you for shopping unnecessary and the conversion of 1:5 wasn't that appetizing. So I tend to spent mostly on souveniers and I only gotten myself some fruit tea with a free pee-pee boy (weird and useless thing), magnets for my travelogues and some socks (a common thing I've been buying for most holidays)
 
Apparently, the weather wasn't expected to be freezing cold so I had to get some additional heatwear. I got all this for below SGD 10 where it'll cost 500% more in Singapore. It definately were a life saver.
I expected to end my trip with not spending more that what I converted. I only swiped twice, one for souveniers and the other for a spa treatment during my spare time. Somehow, I managed a last minute buy at the airport. The DFS was closing in 15 mins but I managed to attain the Longchamp bag that my sister was looking for when I stumbled upon one of my shopping list - Bally's Keypouch. It was  45% of the price of Singapore and Hong Kong. Of course I had to get it.
 After Hong Kong and Beijing, my SIN needlist has been decreased. Time to window shop to increase the needlist.
