camera gear shopping
Being a photography enthusiast, it is quite expected I’d be checking camera gears and accessories during our trip. Nathan road is actually full of shops selling electronics and auto accessories. I of course expect they would be much more affordable than in Manila.
Much to my disappointment, I thought that the external flash that I’ve been meaning (dreaming) to buy is 50% more expensive there compared to Quiapo.
When I came back to Manila, I suddenly remembered that the price that I had in mind was that of a second hand flash, not a brand new one. In short (after calculations), it is actually 40% cheaper in Hong Kong.

hi Felisha! it’s the Canon Speedlite 430ex II.
It’s around P14,000 in Manila.
I asked around Hong Kong, it was only HKD1600, that’s about P11,000 only.
