Shopping

Tomorrow we're off to China! Suifenhe to be exact. Situated just over the boarder the town is a shopping oasis for Russia's Primorsky Region's residents.
Built solely for the purpose to quench Russian shopaholics, I have been told one can buy what ever your heart desires and at little cost. The only problem is that it can be quite dangerous. Last week a woman from Vlad was murdered. The town is very poor and Chinese Russian relations are not the best. There is some resentment towards the Russians, as it was only recently that Chinese market traders were swept form Russian city streets. I think we should be pretty safe with street wise Anatoly.

Mitch and Karen,
Interesting article. Actually black caviar is now a contraband and any shops found to be selling the stuff are severly punished.
