Over the weekend,
my sisters and I went to visit
our dad and mom
who were and are still in Shanghai.
Much eating,
much drinking…
What else have we done?
Oh, shopping….
Yes, much shopping.
If the clothes turn out well,
maybe I will do a fashion show on my blog.
Well, we well see…
I said ‘turn out well‘ because
we are getting our clothes tailored.
There is this huge market that is
filled with fabric stores and tailor shops.
All you have to do is,
bring in a photo of
clothes you want them to make,
and they do it for you.
I guess you will have to know
how to bargain with the tailors
but mom goes there frequent enough that
she just knows how to
carry on the conversation and
ask them what kind of a deal
she could have.
The tailors and my mom both speak in
broken English
so it was pretty funny and cute
to see them interact!
Anyways, it is a neat market
and I enjoyed it a lot.
By the way, isn’t it ridiculous to think that
buying clothes in Japan could be
more expensive than
getting your clothes tailored in Shanghai?!
The world is weird.

I didn’t really feel
like taking many photos there, unfortunately.
