International Shoe Size Conversion Charts |

 If your little piggies are going to market, these shoe size conversion tables can help. You can use them to convert from the shoe size used in one
country or region to the shoe size used in another country or region. However, store and manufacturer practice varies widely. Having studied many
published shoe size tables on the net, I would not trust any of them. |

 What to buy in China? Antiques A good place to find a wide selection of
antiques is at Liulichang. Liulichang is a street in Xuanwumen, and many of the stores are quite old. This area has everything from scrolls, to jade articles
to decades-old cigarette advertisement posters. There are definitely treasures to be found here, but it is hard to tell genuine antiques from dirty fakes. Real antiques are
supposed to bear a red official seal that proves their authenticity, but sometimes real items don't have it and fake ones do. |
