Souvenir shop doing well

A souvenir shop selling APEC memorabilia to delegates is reporting brisk business, although the APEC conference proper has barely started.

Keyrings bearing the APEC logo are sold out and the APEC pens could also disappear from the shop's stand at the APEC media center soon.

Mita Manusama, from PT Panca Prima Eka Sejati, said, "We only have 100 pieces of each item." An American delegate bought 50 pens from the shop because he needed them for the meeting, she said.

There are 20 different items available at the shop, with prices ranging from Rp 2,000 to Rp 150,000.

The keyring is the cheapest and is sold out. Other items include T-shirts, paperweights, jackets, umbrellas and watches (the most expensive item).(sim)
