Trip to Yiwu

[tuppetsdad]

Andrew, Tess and I visited the Yiwu Market last week. 58,000 factory outlets in one place. They have everything you can imagine but you can't buy anything as they are set up as a way to meet manufacturers. More than 50% of the world's Christmas Decorations are made in the Yiwu region!


We saw some pretty cool stuff


Andrew got lost in a Forest



Tuppet found an amazing Ball shop



and I nearly got taken by a bunch of Santas

and some more pics of other crazy stuff


Now I need an upgrade for my sound system...note the built in CD player.





We saw a lot of nice indoor stuff...not so good for outside




And plenty of Blow Ups....please please Mother Tuppet can we have some!!!!




and a rather big Nutcracker

We were just at the start of Chinese New year so lots of stuff to celebrate the year of the Goat / Sheep





and time for shopping




But those Santas are everywhere.....

Looks like fun. Well if u can't bring back goods at least u can bring back plenty of good ideas . . . And they can't charge u a duty on those!!!

I note it has changed from a definitive "goat" to a "sheep/goat". that is progress.

Seriously folks, if anyone wants to join in on the 2016 Chinese mini, you too can come home with a cold like mine.
