My friend Rina bought this license plate around 20 years ago as an anniversary gift for her husband name Florencio E. Reyes ( FER ). Someone approached her to ask if she was selling it since he owns a Ferrari She did not sell it of course for sentimental reasons

Westfield Mall is all over the world! We can’t seem to stay away from it So far they have many in the US, they have in New Zealand, Australia and in the UK.
The British will always have their own!
Love this! In the aisle of the mall there are these pretty massage angels
Zara Home!! ALL WHITE!
M&S cafe in M&S!! Please open in Manila!
Cute food stall selling pancake balls with toppings!
Cute chairs by the ice cream bar
Apparently in the UK Frozen yogurt is not a fad! The British love frozen yogurt!! Maybe I am British? haha!!
I like the fact that in this mall, they have a separate section for all the high end brands. They call it the village. It’s important that in a mall, there is zoning rather than a hodge podge of everything.
Champagne bar in the middle
Beautiful I would think it won’t be as busy, but the ground floor is quite busy since it leads to the outside of the mall where there are restaurants
And to Waitrose!!! I love M& S and Waitrose!!!
Herbs so well packaged and displayed
