WEEK FOUR for 52 weeks about U - 2008
Kuala Lumpur (the capitol of Malaysia) is a bargain hunter's paradise offering a wide variety of goods, ranging from oriental art objects and curios to local handicraft items, designer fashions, shoes and handbags, leather goods, cameras and photographic equipment, electrical and electronic goods. From the air-conditioned comfort of modern shopping complexes to the quaint shops and bustling night markets, Kuala Lumpur offers a unique shopping experience.
Credit cards and travelers cheques are accepted at larger establishments. Most banks readily accept foreign currencies like the US Dollar, Pound Sterling, Yen, Deustchmark and Franc for exchange into Ringgit Malaysia. Although prices at larger establishments are generally fixed, do not hesitate to ask for discounts. The real fun of shopping in Kuala Lumpur is at the smaller shops and roadside stalls where bargaining is still very much in vogue and where verbal skills and a poker face may help to bring prices down dramatically.
The unit of currency is the Malaysian Ringgit indicated as (RM) which is equivalent to 100 sen. Coins are issued in denominations of 1 sen, 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen and RM1.00. Currency notes are in RM1, RM2, RM5, RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100, RM500 and RM1,000. The Ringgit is freely convertible. Foreign currency and travelers cheques can be converted to Malaysian Ringgit at banks or authorized money changers throughout the country.
I went by coach - a pleasant 5 hour journey - early in the week, returning to Singapore late last night.... yes, with a few extra shopping bags!!

We are on parade.
Somali pirates,
Indian tragedies,
Trampled to death in Wal Mart,
Shot to death in a toy store,
Orange County Housewives,
Americas Top Model, Top Chef, Idol?
Deal or no deal.
We are on parade.
The highest levels of lip service.
Big Dicks,
Big Tits,
Big Trucks,
Big ass TV's
Big is a way of life
The world is watching us consume.
The world is watching us destroy.
There is no such thing as environmentally friendly. Thats a fucking oxymoron. Some back door action, guilt complex, booty on the side, punk ass justification. Lessening your imprint? and for what. If you drive a subaru or an escalade your ass is still driving. Might as well feel good with your mistress.
Shit comes and shit goes its that easy...

This is the Ollie's Bargain Outlet # 48 at 4019 West Mercury Blvd, Hampton, VA.
This store is part of what originally was a Government Employees Exchange (GEX) store, and later subdivided.
GEX was a members only club, similar to Costco or Sam's Club, but eligibility for membership was limited to government employees.
One of GEX's notable architecture features was the tent shaped roof. I would assume it was visible (and not covered by ceiling tiles) when it was GEX, but it's really cool that Ollie's (and other tenants) continue to have the original ceiling exposed.
(And yes, the space that housed Ollie's was previously Toys 'R Us)

from Ed's theatre days
he was a great patron of theatre and the arts and has many signed photos of performers ... some photos with them too...
@ the Honest Ed's store @ Bathurst and Bloor
a famous landmark in Toronto...
iit sold things at a discount when the previous department stores like Eatons, Simpsons and the Bay were selling things at a premium
hope it stays in business... I think the last 10-15 years of all the $ stores has been hard on it.
HOORAY for the opening of a TJ Maxx at the beach. This place is deal & steal central. TJ Maxx offers designer and brand name fashion for women, men, teens, kids and baby for up to 60% off department store prices, every day. And dont forget to check out our favorite section - Home Decor. If you are on a tight budget (and who isn't these days) this is the place to go for great clothing and great prices.

not sure what to call it..
Ed had so many things in his former 3 restaurants on Kingstreet. Since he closed them down, the last in 2000, he presumably sold some things and brought some things here... He MUST have a warehouse somewhere since he had jus TONS of "stuff" like big furniture and pieces of art. I was only in this store for about 10 minutes, so I didn't see it all, but it's a sight to go in and see some of these old relics, many of which I think should be in museums for everyone to see!
My photos aren't great.. but if you look at the next few, there is a box you can instert $1 in and it plays music...
they also have one of those fortunte teller machines you see at amusment parks, like the one in the movie BIG.

you put money in it and it plays the piano

Honest Ed's, Annex
Toronto, ON
December 2010 //
Honest Ed's basement is my favourite part of the Honest Ed's experience. Not only does it host some cheap groceries and an international gallery of biscuits, but it also houses some of Mirvish's strange collections like sparkly Asian rickshaws, old theatre seats, and an occasional appearance by Elvis.

This is the other Walmart Supercenter at 6111 Jefferson Ave in Newport News, VA.
This store opened in 2013, and is seeing it's first renovation! Some of the photos from this set show the store with no logo, likely to prepare for the store to be painted and get the updated front logo.

Honest Ed Mirvish was a great patron of the arts, as is is his son(s)?
Along with restoring the Old Vic Theatre in London, he sustained many theatres here, building for example the Princess of Wales theatre on King street. His "warehouse" is full of memorabila from those days and from when he used to own a series of restaurants on King street. It was great to go into the restaurant where you could see his massive collection of "stuff" artificacts from his travels around the world, will be posting some of those soon!
ha ha ha...
anyone know where this was taken?
Melissa.. head over to this place, just 20 min? walk west of where you're staying. from where you are to Bathurst and Bloor is called "the Annex". There are some shops and lots of restaurants here, bookstore (Book City) and a mix of other things. Good for night time walk.
For you, you may be interested in all the theatre memorabilia that is in there. check ou the next few photos.
