In china for a while just now, and feel the need to get some souvenirs...

The stalls down the beach just sell seashells, so i was thinking maybe some bike bits.

How about a 11-42 deore cassette for [url= https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.227.41df5ffcOHl2J7&id=36299804539&ns=1&abbucket=20#detail ]£19[/url]

I dont especially [i]need[/i] anything, although drivetrain bits could be worthwhile.

Inspire me, what should i spend my money on?

Bloke I work with came back with a Terracotta Army replica figure made of clay and fired like the originals.

It's about 8ft tall and weighs about 500lb.

kinda limited with my baggage allowance, so a 500lb figure is out.

they sell teapots here?

thinking of investing in a palm-reading, but being a non chinese speaker, it wont mean much to me...

I got a cheap silver chain that I wore for constantly for the next 20 years. Always remembered China when I noticed it. And a pair of folding scissors.

Cant go wrong with an opium pipe though most tourists seem to opt for those conical hats made of reeds.

Aren't they illegal in the UK, or did I dream it?

Anyway - a waving cat.

Be careful. A lot of the souvenirs are just cheap tat knocked out in factories in the UK by workers on meagre wages....maybe.

Chairman Mao waving watch or an itchy (or worse) reminder of a night in a “karaoke” bar especially if you’re in Ningbo.....

Waving cats are only for businesses. They are bad luck for domestic use.

What you can get is some of those wall hanging scrolls. Some.are very new and tat, others have been aged and are a bot tat. Others are actually the originals and are not tat at all
Get the ones that look most like the originals
