Yes Martin, you could say that she has caught her Bull by the Horns!
Early on she had expressed interest in returning to China after about a year to go buy clothing to bring back - because clothing is cheap in China. Although I don't see this once factoring in the cost of airplane tickets to the total purchased in clothing! But the more she has gone shopping and finding stores that provide deals, she sees that she can get good priced clothing. We went and bought some dresses for her from a store called Target. T-shirts for 5 bucks and jeans for 20 dollars. She said that the clothing texture she can't get back in China. I asked her to read the labels to see were it was made from.
Her laugh gave me my answer.Although one article was made in INDIA - the new emerging China - the rest from China. However, she is also learning that usually you get what you pay for. The pink shoes you can see her wearing, she bought from a bulk clothing store -
International Clothiers for 20 dollars is already falling apart after only wearing them the first time on Canada Day!
With her enjoying the summer months here and learning where to shop, making friends and pursing her music, she now says that maybe in 3 years return back to China.
Now if I can only teach her & my Step-son to stop making the kitchen and bathroom floor so wet - I would be drinking Canada Dry Eh!
