What would you buy?...

last time my brother went overseas.. he went to France and Italy... and several... and he bought me perfume.... perfume=France, pizza= Italy (yummy)

now the lucky duck is going to China (school thing)....soooo.... what can I ak him to get me from there??

I have no clue and I really want him to get me something from there but i have no clue what??... I wa thinking perhaps clothes (maybe for me and some baby/toddler/kid) or maybe a lense for my camera.... I´m not sure... maybe some decor thingy....

what would you get??

You can get anything in China! Our family always goes nuts when one of us travels there. I'd ask for lenses, maybe even a new digital camera and a phone LOL. My dad picked up a new phone there before it was even released here and got my brother a Canon G9 before it was released in Canada (for even cheaper than it's going for now! :D)

Pearls or jade - much, much less expensive there, especially if you haggle.

;) Oh yes have him bring you some Jade.. Its Awesome..

I was seriously thinking of a new camera maybe a Rebel... or a NikonD something..... but how much would they be??.... he goes the 19th.... so I need to crash the piggy bank LOL....

I wanted to get a telephoto and a wide angle.... but the idea of a newer one is way better... then i can seriously tink going pro hehe.....

and a phone!! what a nice idea!!... since I lost my last one and it might have gone that way LOL....

tha only thing with phones is can I have it unblocked or to even function in this side of the world?... I ask because if I buy a phone in U.S. I need it to get decoded or something and soem functions would not be functional.... weird...

Sorry.. can't help you with the price. :p

Yeah, I believe you'd have to get it unlocked to work with your service provider. I got one from China and while it works to call and receive, not all of the functions (like MSN and internet) work. :\ It is pretty though! LOL

as long as it takes calls, text msgs, and pics.... thats all I need... :)
any add ons are a plus... like ringtones and stuff....

I´ll check prices over the net but thank you for bringing the subject on... I need to reconsider it :D

and precious stones....I´m not too fond of them (I don´t like expensive lil thing I would loose the very first day LOL)... but they sound great and I mihgt now have a use for them... thanks for the suggestion :D

He can get you a jade carving that you can keep around, it doesn't have to be jewelry, though that is nice, too. We have a lovely little stack of turtles in a pretty light-green jade that sits on our kitchen table. We got it in China, at a factory where you could see pieces being carved.

I'm w/Karen on this one; jade is wonderful. If you get a figurine, you can see it every day. And it comes in so many beautiful colors. Jewelry, though, would be my choice, so jade jewelry or pearls.
