Don't pass up a god buy | Beijing | Aug 17, 2008 17:42
Last Summer My family spent five weeks in China with the first 2 1/2 days in Beijing.
On the first day we visited the Forbidden City with another couple. It was our second visit, the first in 2000, but our friends first.
At a gift shop near the back entrance to the Forbidden city I saw a wonderful souvenir at a good price. I passed it up since we had so many more days ahead and there would be many more opportunities for souvenir buying. Besides who could ask for a better tourist trap than the Forbidden City?
I never saw that item again and I regret not buying it for the small sum of about $12.00.
Sometimes the opportunity appears and you must be ready. I wasn't and I still think back on that.
