Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up.

I went to Vietnam in San Jose to see what the place looked like. One of my friend had mentioned to me about it. My friend and family also wanted to see what was there. The food at the restaurant taste like you are in Vietnam. I can highly recommend it.

When you are a teen you are into animation and items coming from Japan or Korea. You are into K-Pop and other singers in the band. You don't have time to visit Japan or Korean, but what to buy their food, novelty items, clothing and etc. You can just come to this store and buy it there.
