Re: TAPS,
I'm glad you're enjoying my reports! I write them for two reasons: to make travel less mysterious to those who don't travel much, and to entertain those who do, or have done. And you know I always think of you when exploring trails and the wilds. Today you will certainly be in my thoughts at The Great Wall!

Re: Corbin Dallas,
Only if purchases exceed a fairly large base amount. The Customs form we'll be given on the plane requires a fairly specific listing of items purchased and what was paid for them. However, no one here gives receipts for purchases unless you pay by credit card, so we have kept notes on everything we've bought to take home.

I am sorry to be so late getting caught up here on this blog. I hate to admit it but today I am reading this post and the last nine of them one after the other. So much interesting stuff. You write it so well. I almost feel like I am there with you.

Re: RPresta,
Delighted to have your company! Believe me, a loo with a 'sitter' is a wonderful thing--I have found some public toilets that don't have them, and I simply could not get down and then back up again! Happily I know this without having been trapped in this way on this trip!

Oh, Ciel, what a simply delightful post. I was there shopping with you and Charlie. It was great! Everything on the shopping tour sounded wonderful - well, maybe the loos could have been better! Thank you for a fun post.
