I also got carried away with the Bai material. I cheekily admit that I bought 3 large rectangle pieces and 1 round piece. I have no idea what I will do with them but I really like their designs and for $15 UDS each I couldn’t resist. Pashminas were another great Yunnan deal – which lead to another strange purchase. A lot of Chinese carry large (& surprisingly VERY sturdy) plaid plastic zipper bags around instead of suitcases. They are about $1.50 (USD) in price and come in all sizes. Cathy and I had purchased so many Yunnan ‘bargains’ that we ended up having to buy a suitcase-size plaid plastic bag to stuff it all in. The only problem was locating it at the airport baggage claim among the many other plaid plastic suitcases.
