Give this shop one of your photos, and you can get your own figurine, a combination of your head and David Beckham's body, within 20 days!
But you can become much more than just Beckham. There are more than 300 images to choose from. The owner said the most popular image is Yao Ming, the basketball giant.

Made of rosewood, each of the sculptures features a vivid image with a natural luster. Looking at one of them for a few seconds, I just burst into laughter!
I will send them to my friends and wish them happiness!

I bought two pieces of cake-shaped Pu'er tea. They came from high-elevation, natural plantations in Yunnan.
I told the shopkeeper my birthday and showed him my palm, and he told me about my future and past. Crazy accurate!

That's because I love tigers and they really look like a tiger's head! The eyes, nose, mouth, beard, and ears: I'm left wanting nothing.
These ones are for babies!
So cute. Chinese couples often buy their babes such a pair of shoes, hoping they will be strong and brave as a little tiger.

Cathryn always likes to poke fun at my habit, and takes me to shops with products for smokers.
Yesterday she took me to "Match's Quote" where I discovered a universe of specially-designed matches and matchboxes.
The designs showed modern abstract pictures, traditional Chinese patterns, Peking Opera masks, graffiti, and international stars. I liked the modern designs best.

At an archaeological gift shop, I found a kind of percussion instrument that was used in ancient China over 3,500 years ago!
It's an imitation of an archeological find - a bronze bell set. I picked up a small wooden hammer, and knocked on the seven bells hanging from a wooden frame. The sweet simple notes rang throughout the shop!
If only I could remember a musical score!

I never thought scarves were very important. But now, I know, I was wrong.
On my way to a Beijing's old Drum Tower, I stepped in a little shop. My god! Never have I seen so many crazy scarves!
Some double-sided embroidery patterns caught my eye, and I almost bought one. I also like the modern, elegant wool shawls for parties, they feel like baby's skin, so soft and exquisite.

Traditional Chinese paper cuts that show Einstein and Mona Lisa are hard to find.
But this place has it all.
It's great to find a mixture of east and west, then bring it back home.
Some of the paper cutouts had layers of colors with an elaborate, unique look.
