I like the Silk Street market, amongst the myriad of bootleg vendors there is a decent selection of low priced Chinese crafts. Granted the crafts at Friendship store are better quality, you can still get decent trinkets/souvenirs at Silk St.
They do have some people that custom make the Chinese character stuff which is a nice inexpensive gift item. Also I once had the guy that sculpts clay heads make one for a client that I used for a CGI project. It costs $75 there instead of paying $900 in LA.


Hey you watch..bag..dvd.

@:-)I would like to put some kind of electrical shock contacts in my sleeves so when
those aggressive vendors grab your arms and start pulling on you , you can shock em.
