@Jackie – That’s a good point. I think the shopping atmosphere in some places (that aren’t on the list) leaves a little something to be desired. I would have been heartbroken if Century 21 was closed but sounds like you made the most of it :0

@Jennifer – Never thought about it that way, but you’re right. Not that I needed it, but I definitely restocked/refuelled in Hong Kong and am still feeling the benefits

Great list – having lived in two of those places and traveled to the rest, I have to agree with you that these cities burn holes in my pockets! They also all serve as great “restocking” locations for those traveling for long periods of time.

Great list Andy. I am just back from NY and Century 21 was closed for the Jewish New Year – which was a great thing for the staff and beneficial to my credit card! I have been lucky enough to be to all of the cities mentioned except Tokyo. I love to window shop ( usually revert to my old tried and tested brands for real purchases) and each of these cities do window dressing/merchandising extremely well.

And – unlike my experience in London – we were welcomed in all of the shops we ventured into whether we were dressed the part or not!

@Isabelle I’m not a *huge* shopper, to be honest, but indeed I couldn’t help but notice the ones on the expensive list were still good places to go regardless

@D&D Yeah I know what you mean. I’ve dropped cash in many of them – so it was nice reminiscing. :0

Nice list, I won’t be dropping cash anytime soon at these places, but it is great to dream:)
