    Yes, I’m sure. But remember, it only takes a few diamonds and some gold to increase the price of these things to astronomical hights. . . .

    if you want to purchase stuff from Beijing’s Silk Market, without actually having to go there, look for our online store on google by searcing for Silk Market.

    We are in Beijing, working closely with vendors at Silk Market and some other well known markets. Tell us what you need, and well go there, pick up stuff, check the products quality and ship it directly to your home.

    Cheap & Simple.

    i might be traveling to beijing, in the summer for 2 weeks to volunteer at a summer camp, if i get accepted, and hope to make it to these places on the weekends.

    i think i’m going to do all my christmas shopping there for 2010!

  • erikssc says:

    Thanks. Yes, you can find all those brands.

  • nirvanafatal says:

    thank you for the video . I live vacariously through you. Kudos!

  • nirvanafatal says:

    Very informative video. I wish I can afford to go there for shopping. Can you find Gucci, Prada , Versace etc etc etc ?

  • ThePureBoyAlliance says:

    I’ve been there before, everything you said is absolutely true.

  • iamtakingover says:

    what is the opening song!?? i love it! please tell me! xD

  • lavista4u says:

    agree,,,the shopping and bargaining itself is fun

  • gurielzeigerman says:

    except the one important fact that 90% of all things sold in those markets are fakes.

  • Titania400 says:

    I actually like the market style shopping places more than the department stores here in America. In beijing, all the bargaining and haggling makes the atmosphere really fun, while the malls in America just seem so uptight. This is from a girl who lives in America and goes back to Beijing every couple of years.

    thanks alot
    it helps alot when im going to beijing this summer pretty
    worried about the smog cause of my ashma but i think its cleared up by then xD

  • erikssc says:

    No, only in the market style shopping areas. In the big modern department store you normally do not bargain. Of course you can always try though. . . :)

  • xHikaruxChanx says:

    Soo you have to haggle and bargain in every shop you go in beijing ?

  • 3pointm says:

  • amasuEnd says:
