more on China...







A crowd outside another yarn store in Kunming .... not sure what the crowd was about.










A closer peek inside... yarn & sweaters for sale.... still not sure what the rush was about.  








A traditional Han woman showing off her hand embroidered shoes.  Her village is known for maintaining a relatively old way of life.   Still, she was worried about how fat her legs look. Some worries are universal.







A close up of her shoes...  only years ago, she explained she would have had a blade attached to the toe for protection.
