We do! Lots of it! We have gone a little crazy with the shopping here. Silk, pearls, fake clothes, purses, etc, its crazy! And its all so cheap! I think we are becoming master bargainers. A few of us (not naming names!) have had to buy new suitcases already even though we are only on our first city!
Anyway, we didn't spend all of our time shopping. We also saw a bunch of the historic sites here. Let's see, we've done the Forbidden City, Ti'anenmen Square, some parks, the hutong, and of course the Great Wall, which was really cool. Today we went to the Lama Temple, which was really neat as well. Lots of Buddha's and incense burning everywhere.
Ok this has to be quick today b/c I am on the hotel internet and it is pretty expensive. Here are some pics - Ok whatever the pics are above. Blogger does not seem to like operating in China!! Tomorrow we are off to Shanghai - hope all is well in the states!
BTW our new Chinese phrases of the day are: Xishou jian zi na li (where is the bathroom) and wi an ni (I love you), taught to us by a cab driver who was in love with Jess.

Jess, you're supposed to marry a wealthy!! chinaman, not a cabbie.
Love the pictures! Is it me or does the Great Wall look like the worlds longest "luge" run? How cool would that be! Anybody want to start an adventure tours biz!
The kimonos picture rocks! At first i thought you were all putting your faces through cut-outs, like the Old West photo shops at Disney. Then I realized that you were actually wearing the outfits - very sexy! Deason, your headress looks like a drunken bird's nest.
Just read in the Post today that the Secretary of Shanghai's Communist Party is under investigation for corruption. So you're clearly going at the perfect time. Easy to find financing for that luge biz.
Stay safe! Keep posting! May the best bargainer win!
KD-- This looks amazing!! Hope you're having a great time!

SHOPPING?? I anticpiated non stop conversations concerning the meduium term sustainability of China's current growth trageteory and its implications for political openness amoung you four. I'm sure the debate on the topic between Danielle and Jess has been a lively one ( ;
