Have you been to anywhere that you can "shopaholic heaven"? Where you can buy anything because the things there are so cheap and you can find almost everything there. I have been to China, Indonesia, Korea, India, Malaysia ( I'm staying here ) and all this countries the currency is very low if compare to USD and Euro. fyi, I'm not talking about branded stuff. Beijing and Shanghai still the best for ladies. Indonesia as well. I used to travel a lot before. Oh I forgot about Dubai. Surprise? Yes, Dubai is in the list... Best spot to shop especially textiles. When you talking about shopping, actually it's not only about the price and currency. All this spot are nicely arranged/departments. Like in Dubai, Naif Street... hahaha... You can find everything on this street. From bicycles to plumbing to machines to furniture until wig to the extend. But please do not go during Summer... You will feel like you walking in the oven.Yes, Dubai is the best. Not Beijing and Shanghai. But it also depends on what you looking for. And which country you are from.... Anyone to share their shopping experience? Anyone coming to country that I mention?

I am pretty sure that by now it is China. Unfortunately I have never been yet, even though I have been dreaming of going for several years now, but I know that it is cheap, the quality has gotten better and that even many luxury brands have all their production there now!

yes, i have been to beijing and shanghai... but you have to be very very very careful and know the place... The branded stuff ? you have to buy at their boutique. They do have classes for the imitation branded stuff and from Shanghai, they do like real one, A class. But you have to bargain here. If they see tourist, definitely the price is like " i will kill you and you go to h**L"... the price has been mark up until 100x... Can u imagine the bag price actually 150yuan but at the first attempt you ask them it's gonna be like 1500yuan... you have to be very good buyer here...

oh ya... I forgot about hong kong...yes, one of the best spot in Hong Kong is Mongkok Street. You can find everything there. With nice weather. But the thing for me is the food. There lots of variety but most of them can't be eaten by me... have you been there?

I think China is the best shopping spot.China is a country which has old culture.In China,there are many objects to buy.For example,beautiful Tang suits,expensive antique,beautiful fashions,and so on.Except shopping,you can have a good meal in China.The food of China is so delicious.

It really depends on the things that interest you I guess. I've been to different countries as well and for me, there's no specific country where I can buy all things I want and the affordability of the products.
For example, I like going to Korea because their beauty products are cheaper than in our country. In the US, their outlet malls have clothes, shoes and bags. Street food in Taiwan is really delicious and they sell a lot of eccentric things in their night market. Beijing has lots of cheap souvenir items.
