12 Photos to Inspire the Shoppers
At least once a month Yahoo emails asking for shopping articles to be written.
They are asking the wrong person. Because, I don't like shopping.

Others, I just wait 'til they aren't looking, then, shoot.

You can buy ready-made kimonos or, material, to make your own.
It got me thinking when I saw this character on a kimono.
Wouldn't that look cool on a tuxedo ?
For anyone who would like a video tour of the Naha Market, I found this:
