You know you're in the pits when..

...what you're used to walking two blocks for, you now have to go to the next city, by train, to look for, and be informed when you do find a store that carries it, that you have to pre-order it, and that you'll have to come back after 3 days to collect it.

The item in question is a pack of matte-finish heavy stock A3 size photo paper. Fortunately, one of the shops I inquired from recommended one other shop that might carry this item. The name of the place is Saturn. I had to ask for directions at least 3 times, and use what little German I know in trying to understand whatever directions I was given, to find the place. It turns out they do carry the paper, although not the double-sided kind that I was looking for. I bought a pack anyway.

P.S.
The picture, again, has got nothing to do with anything else written here. This isn't even what I wanted to print on the paper I was looking for. This is just another experiment in post-processing images taken with a digital camera.

glad you found what you are looking for even though you travel that far and you did not get the exact kind you like. i think A3 matte finish photo paper is also difficult to find here in Phils and quite expensive. thanks for the compliment. tsamba lang mga kuha ko, hehe

Goodness knows how many times I had this experience. Going from one shop to another and got nothing. It can be very frustrating.

cruise247... thanks... i went to your blog... galing! thanks for sharing images of the Philippines!

Al... ikaw ba si anonymous? :) i think it's only frustrating for me because I was used to getting everything within a few blocks' walk... i guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.
