“Ｙes!! Mother!!!”
Three years ago I bought knockoff bags in Hong Kong not knowing they were
fake.
I knew there were so many knockoffs in Hong Kong.
Our tour guide carried a knockoff prada bag and wore a knockoff rolex watch .He told us it was
good to have knockoffs because they 're inexpensive and we don't need to
worry about taking care of them. .He was very proud of having knockoffs.
Actually I didn’t think they were so good as I felt their quality were bad.
He invited all of us in the bus to the place where we could buy knockoffs.
We went to one room of the hotel .There were two beds and we found ａ lot
of goods on those bets .
He said “Ｄｏｎ’ｔ tell other people about this room . These are all knockoffs but these are not what
you can buy on the street here and there in Hong Kong.The quality of these are really good.I bought some and I can use them for ａ long time. You can’t
buy these in other places .It is the secret place you can buy good knockoff
bags and purses If you don't have money now ,you can use cards here.” Some people
were very interested in them and picked some knockoffs up to buy as
presents for their friends.I also began to check out these knockoffs.I don’t
know why I bought some of them there. In fact I don't like carrying brand
bags and purses. Maybe I was a bit confused after hearing our guide’s
speaking ,seeing tags with very cheap prices and people who wanted to buy
them as souvenirs. .I didn’t regret buying knockoffs there as I knew they
were fake.I payed about 100 thousand yen to get Prada and Louis Vuitton
knockoffs there.
I enjoyed eating delicious Chinese food at a big restaurant .I met some
Chinese eating together with all family members.I saw one man sitting with
some women and children.One young girl was taking care of children and other
people who were wearing good clothes were enjoying eating and chatting
there.I remembered our guide’s words. He told us wealthy men can have
several wives in Hong Kong. Those wives enjoy playing mah -jongg together in
day time.They don’t need to do house chores as maidservants do all chores
and take care of their children.I thought in my mind “Are those wives
really happy?Their happiness is a kind of fake one? They look happy.But I
don’t know what they think in their mind.”
The last day in Hongkong I woke up very early in the morning.I wanted to walk
around the hotel.I saw some people doing some exercise in the park.I really
felt fresh seeing an old woman’s beautiful movement of exercises.I visited
many sights in Hong Kong but they didn't move me at all because they
are very artificial.I felt they are all fake.
I thought woman’s exercise is the real one which wisdom of Chinese people
tought her how to live .I saw some young women exercisng next to her but
their movement were
not beautiful as hers.I realized we need a lot of time to learn .
I found really great and goegeous shop on the way from the park to the
hotel. I wanted to buy a bag made by a famous designer for my daughter. I found a beautiful Prada bag there. It wasn't very cheap at all. And a clerk showed me the
warranty of the bag. I was so happy to find a real Prada bag. Or so I thought. Only later did I realize that it was a counterfeit bag. My daughter found some sewing inside the bag that was bad, and I found a small white spot on it I was very disappointed to know I could be fooled like that .I couldn't believe in people for a while .
I need more lessons to learn which is fake one and which is real one .
