When you are ready to come visit again, this time as a civilian....let me know.

Yes, we would have a great time here Zip.

I hope someday you take a few weeks to visit here again.

Subic is an "economic" zone now.

It's always interesting to me to see what things sell here.

This shop in is San Fernando and I stopped in because I saw the Stressmas decorations in Oct.

Take a little walk through this place with me. From the flowers just outside the door to the toy guns and Barbie dolls inside, it's worth a peek.

These are the decorations that first caught my attention. Once inside there were also many variations of Santa Claus.

People here have a fascination with Santa Claus and snowy, cold weather. Reindeer too I suppose.

Girl gifts are traditional here as well as the boys. There arent a large number of girls running around with the toy guns and not a huge number of boys holding a baby doll.

From the girls side of the isle.....

And the boys side.

The whole time that I was looking around this store there were stock boys bringing in large boxes of goods.

In a store that is too small to start with, having these guys stocking the shelves at the same time that people would like to see what's for sale seems stupid to me. That's what the night shift is for, I'm always telling people here.

There is no night shift here and every effing delivery wll inconvenience you by either holding up traffic for blocks on the main streets or squeezing you out of a store like toothpaste when new stock comes in ready to be put on shelves.

In most places that I've gone there are people in the GDF way stocking something or other.

It get's old very quickly.

But....

The prices are very competetive.

Just trying to stay balanced here.

Just make sure that you leave the front door open for ol' St. Nick because there are no chimneys for him to climb down here in the "Pee-Eye".
