[Sca-cooks] What to buy in Shanghi

[Elaine Koogler]

Ditto.  I've not been to Shanghai, but did travel to Hong Kong and 
Taipei a couple of times.  One thing you might check into...I know that 
you can get tailor made clothing in Hong Kong for substantially less 
than here...it may also be the case in Shanghai.  Eat lots of good 
food...the Chinese love to eat out, and have incredibly fine restaurants.
