We bought this carved trunk at the White Swan in Guangzhou. There are two others inside. Total cost to buy this beautiful artwork was about $220. Dirt cheap! But wait...shiping and insurance paid in China was another $200. But that's not all, receiving in Los Angeles wanted $170 to release it, receiving in Seattle wanted $40 for their cut, and US Customs had to get in the act too for a big $9. So, our $220 chests were really more like $670. Still worth it to us, but be warned it will cost more than you might think!

A couple of beautiful women!

Melissa REALLY did not like the mandatory doctor exam. I think it was the first time we heard her really scream.
