[quote=CARLOS,465120]"Carlos, postcards are too cheap for Chinese people. If you do not bring them good souvenirs, they might be angry with you." Yea, in addition to buying souvenirs I hate the thought that friendship and "face" are also for sale. None of my friends has dropped me out from their "friend list" for having only a post card instead of some souvenirs. I guess that is one thing that makes us friends. To show that the other is always in your heart and mind is enough. My wife just flied to China and her baggages were loaded with all kinds of souvenirs from Finland. She took only the most important personal things, all other space in her baggages was filled with souvenirs. She also took a lot more money than needed because she must give red envelopes to almost everyone she knows to show "respect and friendship", you can read this as same as "to buy face, to show that you are economically on top".
