Friday we did a bit of shopping.... I hired a local guide who runs a business helping families shop for their adoptive kids while they are in China. She also runs a website that will deliver packages to your child while waiting for all of the approvals! She was great and took us to a wholesale "mall" she has contacts that will sell to her and her clients for a good price. She does all the negotiating for you and is a complete pistol. She is about 4 feet tall and is a whirlwind! My 6 foot tall dad was having trouble keeping up so you can imagine what I looked like! We also went to a jade market that was outside and sold all kinds of jade pieces..... it was quite an experience.
We loved shopping at that place! We want to go back there to get our boys more of the knock off Legos. :) Sorry to hear you are not having good weather. Hope you are still getting to get out a little bit- it's hard being cooped up in the hotel.
