My parents went there when I was 13 to adopt my little sister. They said how the countryside and buildings and such are beautiful but the people are still living in awful poverty.
Did you get any cool things there? My mom got $700 worth of silk dresses for $50 there, pure diamonds from South Africa for $50, a globe made of precious metals for $95, and Mao memorabilia. Each male in the family got a Mao pocket watch and my brother in law got a Mao lighter that lights up in different colors and plays the chinese national anthem. My sister had her face engraved in some kind of rock, done from hand. We got several paintings, and a bunch of jade and pearl chopsticks.
