We caught a taxi from the Jin Mao building and went to Lisa Pearls for our first round of pearl purchasing. Last time I had been there I had informed the shop girls that I was bringing some friends to see them in October and boy were they glad to see us ride up the escalator! We had decided that the one that spent the most at LP that night had to pay for the cab back to our hotel – it was Laura. Laura must have been saving her shopping dollars till the end, because she hadn’t bought much before this part of the trip. The shop girls were even more thrilled when I told them we would have to come back in two nights to bring Jan. They knew that ALL of us would buy more when we got back there and we did!
