I love shopping in Kathmandu, Nepal–trinkets are mega cheap, artifacts and remains from temples are abundant, and what more, it’s my home town. Here, I’m in Kathmandu City surrounded by flea market goods and century-old temples. Not quite like shopping in Milan but, definitely a memorable event.
These are pictures I took of silk ribbons sold at a store in Kathmandu. Cool huh?
San Francisco’s Chinatown is one of the top tourist attractions in the states and a mega-fun place to shop. I take the bus to the gates of CTown whenever I have out-of-town guests. You can pretty much find everything under the sun in this ‘hood…I can spend the entire day tasting dimsum, munching on coconut pastry, shopping for anything San Francisco, etc.,
Peking Bazaar – all the trinkets you can possibly buy
Columbus street is loaded with eateries selling roasted duck for under $10
Dol Ho Restaurant – cheap dim sum for under five bucks…this place is really low-rent but makes up for it with the best greasy food…
I get live crab here…
An array of herbs to choose from…
Japanese geta and zori….
The selections are endless…
Bhaktapur is an awesome city and one of the best places to gift shop…I buy all my trinkets for friends here. It’s a historical Newar town not far from Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. I’m attracted to the culture and love to check out the palaces, artwork and the gorgeous temples left behind from centuries ago. Be sure to stop by during your visit to Kathamandu…so worth it!
