Beijing China - Silk Street Market

It is late on a full travel day and we are climbing the stairs to one of the clothes districts of Beijing: the Silk Market. This is a collection of several hundred shops all with very aggressive sales people all wanting to clothe you. Girls grabbing at you to sell you ties, men stretching underwear under your nose saying "Calvin Klein good for you". We end up at a place that is a little less obnoxious and settle in for several hours of silk selection and pattern picking. Ultimately we end up with several dresses, pants suits and jackets for Ellen. She looks so hot!!! They say they are going to get this all done in the next 36 hours and drop them off at the hotel. We leave in less than 35 hours so we will see if they make it to us prior to our Tibetan departure on the 11th.
Aria, you would love this place!
