Our local NEWS ran a segment on this place after the Christmas Holidays 3 years ago, so we had to check it out. It is huge! I bought a box full of stuff...clothes all cleaned, some with price tags still on them. Material from India, Kimonas from Japan, like International Plaza...Something from many countries. Perfume, cameras, even an artifical leg. It's an experience. Worth your time.
