    Default China?

    Has anyone else been there?
    My flight is book and i'm so excited...I leave April 27th!!!
    The thing is, my mom lives there and i'm visiting her but as far as shopping is concerned...she gets things tailored for herself. I plan on doing some of that but I am wondering about the other shopping there? Is *real* designer clothing cheaper there? Is it impossible to get North American friendly sizing, lol?
    Anyways, if anyone's been there some input would be appreciated since I need all the advice I can get!

    Thanks guys

    I studied abroad in Beijing during Summer 2003. I hope you have fun.

    Real designer clothes are actually more expensive due to importing, but there are bootlegs galore. I got a "Gucci" purse for $4. However, things will be just as expensive when you go to shopping malls and get Western brands. Sizing may be wierd because Chinese girls tend to be small and quality can be crap in some of the bootlegs, but it's always worth it to look around, especially if they're big attractions to foreigners. Learn how to bargain (I got badly suckered a few times), and seduce a tall man into acting as your "husband" to get spectacular results, especially when dealing with the brutal hustlers who will let themselves be dragged for 50 feet and grovel, threaten, cuss, beg, cajole, etc.

    I got a silk qipao tailored for myself for about $75 at a really nice reputable place that was mentioned in the travel guides. Buy a travel guide to point oput a few places, and ask your mom where to go. Learn how to recognize good materials, like pearls, silk, and leather.
