Hello

I use your blog to keep notes & tabs for my future travels!

Anyways, would like to ask where I could get the international driver’s license? Is it LTO? or any other special office?

Thank you :)

Very impressive leather collection but above all that can’t help noticing Steig Larsson’s book. :D

Georg Jensen makes metallic passort cases which are elegant and virtually indestructible. I know it doesnt have the feel and aroma of fine leather but its an interesting alternative if you travel a lot.

roland, OMG, I didn’t realize you would be able to read the list. It is a real one. :) Farro grains is first on the list, along with other ingredients I need to stock up on, got saffron in Spain. Deodorant because I have a favorite one and buy several sticks once a year or so… silver polish, not shoe polish, because it is so expensive and hard to find in Manila. :)

Mandy, fino has some great stuff, we get some items there too. arlene, the green organizer is in leather, from a store in the U.S., but several travel stores or leather goods shops might have something similar, including Fino at large Manila malls. The passport case was on super sale at a Parisian stationery store last year. Again, we have purchased nice passport cases from $7 (just this afternoon in Morocco) to sky’s the limit…

Such a beautiful bag there you got, MM. I love leather too. I love the smell of leather–I sniff my new items when I get them. Heehee. I don’t have the same budget as you do, so I usually get my small leather accessories from Fino. I try to catch them when they’re on sale. :) My croc stamped coin purse is like almost 10 years old & it’s still great. :)
