Tibetans' Way of Life


Visit Tibet in Beijing!
I walked right in a Tibetan shop to check out a Tianzhu stone necklace.

The shop assistant told me that Tianzhu stone items are passed down through generations in Tibetan families. He then showed me a unique Tianzhu stone pipe for smoking tobacco. 

Understandably, high-grade items had high-grade prices. Some items cost as much as 450 dollars a piece.

Show Off Your Own Figurine


Do you want your own doll?
Have you ever imagined you were soccer superstar David Beckham? Now make it happen.

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.

Laugh Now and Then as the Fat Laughing Buddha


Cute laughing Buddha
Look what I've got! Several wooden sculptures in Beijing called the fat laughing Buddha.

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!

Fortune with Your Tea?


Pu'er tea cakes in Beijing
Last week, I went to a very interesting Pu'er tea shop where the shopkeeper is not only a Pu'er tea dealer, but also a fortune-teller.

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!
