Watches, Handbags, Gucci...look

Friday, March 23 -- Just so we could say that we had the experience, we followed a street hawker back to her shop to see her handbag inventory. A little tiny shopfront story with hardly any stock. We stood there for a few minutes, then a man opened a door at the back of the shop. We entered that door (it was locked behind us), and then the man taps on the wall then begins pulling back fake wallpaper exposing a second door. He opened that door and there was a closet-sized shop full of handbags and watches. We entered into that little room, again, the door locked behind us and we got to see all of the "A" quality stock. Did we buy anything? Of course not, knock-offs are illegal in China and people don't break the law here....Obviously, no picture attached to this blog entry.
