what should I buy to sell here, stuff that one can't get in the USA? for my own nostalgia, I will get those chinese chess games (animal, airplane, chinese marble, etc) that I used to play when I was younger. no DVD or illegal copy of anything, or used undies for that matter! :p

Remember to take pics and post them here when you're back! I would love to see how it looks like now.

I am still debating if I should bring my nikon d70 there, dont wanna look like a tourist, but I am thinking about buying a tamron 90mm macro lens (~300$ there vs $450 here) there, so it might be a good idea to bring that with me.

Bring the camera. You ARE A TOURIST there :p

Mooncake taste bad at times. The sweet bits are too sweet. The egg bit is the only thing I like :)

sell? considering the cost of the plane ticket your time spent shopping is wasted.

Sorry about that, I don't know very much about asian cultures.

I was there couple months ago, electronics are not as cheap as you think, its slightly lower than the retail price here. Make sure you bargain with them, all prices can be haggled.
