				| So they say the shopping is good in China.. what are you taking home with you?? or what do you take home with you (those that have been here a few times).. Where are the good things..and the good buys?? So far I have a few beautiful umbrellas.. Clothing is for the tiny... Where is the natural fabric in materials.. I think it is in having your clothes made??  Appreciate your information.. |  |

				| Oprah, didn't you say you were presently in China? Just look around you!   
 Yes, have a few suits made up, and just shop for whatever you like. They are your souvenirs, after all. I kept with the things I can't get at home that easily...since I love art, I ended up with a couple of prints/scrolls...and I bought the most beautifully carved Er Hu
   
 And just remember you have to transport it all home again later...I forgot but thank God everyone else at the check-in counter was 20 kg overweight as well! Sending some of your belongings home works great too.
 
 Also, in China, there are a lot of things you can't shop for which will eventually end up being your favorite souvenirs/China memories anyway

				| Oprah You're asking questions "Lonely Planet" can answer for you.
 People on here can give you location specific information. Where are you talking about?
