I'd be glad to come up with a list of recommended goods later, right now I'm a bit tight with my schedule.
If any of you are interested in some particular items, don't hesitate to contact me
Some eastern style can be added to your home, delicate Chinese handcrafts are really nice. I'd also recommend some Chinese herbal medicine maybe. For students, academic textbooks printed in Chinese (but in English, with copyrights) are much cheaper.
I'd also recommend Chinese silk, jade and acient coins for a simple collection (even stamps). For collectors with more expensive tastes, calligraphy and paintings can be considered.
And I heard that Chinese essential balm and cooling ointment are extremly popular in middle-east. These are really good!
PS. I'd be spending time in Limassol so anyone interested in making friends are also welcomed, and will receive some gifts from China
