Feelin Snazzy

The first weekend in April we went to Yangshou again (I know, obsessed much? We've only been there FIVE times in the seven months we've lived here) and I really love that place. Not only do we get to sleep in the only soft beds in China, but we get to do loads of shopping. I love shopping here. I'm starting to get pretty good at it too. The fine art of bargaining is a skill carefully aquired, but highly useful. My favorite buy of the weekend: my Chinese dress! I can now leave China fully satisfied. I had to get mine tailored for me, since all the 'long' style ones go to my knees(no joke). Most of the girls in my group had one made and so we went down to the Li river to take some photos. I pretty much want to wear mine everyday, just cause it fits so splendidly.

In case you don't recognize me after my long absence, I am the one in the black dress. I got the two piece outfit, just so that I could get two different lengths of skirts. It's fabulous!

Love it! I didn't get one when I was there but they are just lovely! Glad yours fits so well & I'm glad you love Yangshou. I loved it there too!

Great pics!

Look at those guns, Kristal! Man, I had to stop looking at your muscles to even notice the dress, which is gorgeous by the way!
