10 thoughts this Manila F.A.M.E. ’10.
- Bicol region is really abaca region.
- I miss Pres. GMA (she opened the Manila Now 2010 furniture show).
- Gravel parking of WTC aint tire friendly.
- We’d like to buy a welding machine right about now (outsourcing is slow, you know).
- Philippine furniture shows are almost always loaded with native lamps.
- The exhibitors are the same set of people/companies from other shows in the past.
- The bamboo material is amazingly versatile, cheap and beautiful.
- Philippine-made pottery is world class.
- You can buy yema and kamote at Manila FAME. This is true. Go to the pavilion section.
- This April, Manila FAME is the next best thing coz we can’t go to afford the 2010 Milan Furniture Fair (Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2010).
