I've never been a big shopper. I'm a saver by nature. When I've got money, I don't like to let go of it. Plus, shopping is (almost always) a huge pain.
Thai people love shopping. It's what they do. All. The. Time.
A big expo of Thai handicrafts from all over the country came to town last Saturday and ends this weekend.
We went on opening day and spent nine hours there. NINE HOURS! My shoulders were in knots for days from lugging my purchases around.
I bought myself seven scarves. I'm from Texas. Winter is like two minutes long there. But they're silk, they're pretty, they're cheap (compared to silk in the U.S.), and I couldn't stop.
I also bought six or seven pairs of earrings. I lost count. I'd just go up to a jewelry stand, take a look, pick something, and pull out my wallet.
I got home and realized I hadn't bought any scarves for my mom, so Mariela and I are going back this Saturday to pick up a few last items.
