Shopping in China

Both Bernice and I love to wander the streets and alleys (Hutong) in the cities of China looking in the stores for items of interest. You never know what you may find to buy, often at bargain prices. While prices have gone up substantially in recent years, as opposed to 1984 prices they still impress us as bargains in 2002. Everyone has been most friendly and helpful while shopping. The language barrier has not caused us any problems.
