I bought these 4 little hand painted bottles in Shanghai last month - they are only 4 inches high to shoulders of bottle - heavy as lead - they are hand painted on the inside - just sensational.

I actually sat and watched the dude painting some others and he gave me the low down on the process - trained by his master 10yrs ago he has been painting for 6yrs himself - takes him about 8hrs non stop to do one of these small bottles:

I just love bringing unique souvenirs home from China - to help fellow AFFers in seeking some here is a list from QQ - Best Chinese Products to Bring Home as Gifts

Now many will want to go with No. 2 but might be slightly confused with application - no problemo - Tommy and penegal have both enrolled in a 'Summer School Crash Course' and will be more than happy to assist!

Are you heading to Shanghai? Jump onto subway Line 2 and get off at Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station - Market is both sides of Station when you exit up the escalator or stairs - you cannot miss it.

This little dude is on Xinyang Market side - A & P Plaza Market is opposite side - right in middle of Xinyang Market is a glass courtyard - this dudes stand is right beside that. This is best by far Market in Shanghai for shopping and so easy to get to by Subway.

I thought this picture was a classic, along with the one of someone carrying a Giraffe, elephants and giraffe's not allowed to be carried on this motorway.

Yes they are hysterical. We have so many signs we have been saving sine we arrived here.:)
