Back from Fengshine Market (Taobao City)
Saturday, December 19th, 2009Anita, my friend is going back to Sweden for Christmas this week. So we went to Fengshine Market today for some Christmas gifts!

But anyway, see what we got! And the prices are the best I can get….. may still not that good….. Read More…
Shopping for Christmas Deco in Fuyou Road Market at Yu Garden
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009When I saw the huge Christmas tree in the lobby of my office building, I decided to start my year end shopping with some Christmas deco first.
After consulting some colleagues, the right direction: Yu Garden.
Yu Garden is not only a garden, actually it is a area full or markets, small shops, street foods etc. Sometimes local Shanghainese refer it as the Shanghai version of Yiwu because there are a few wholesale markets of gifts, art crafts, clothing, accessories etc around Yu Garden as well. Read More…

Fenshine Fashion & Accessorise Market (Taobao City)
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009Yesterday after I had this exhausting shopping in Qipu Road, I returned to West Nanjing Road at about 3pm. I went to the McDonald’s at the West Nanjing Road near Chengdu Road (the elevated road) to have a very late lunch.
I was surprised to find there were quite a few people there, and most of them were foreigners. Then I saw those big black garbage bags almost under every seat.
