The idea for this post was taken from my-good-friend-living-in-the-Philippine's blog.
Absolute Essentials for an American woman's purse:
- Car Keys
- Large Wallet
- Brush
- Compact Mirror
- Lip Gloss
- Cell Phone
- Absolute Essentials for a Chinese woman's purse:
- Keys to her bicycle or moped
- Tissue for the squatty potties
- Plastic bottle for drinking green/herbal tea
- Umbrella - for the sunshine
- Whitening cream
- Cell Phone
How has your purse changed since you moved to China? Even after Myles was potty-trained, and before Brigid was born, I carried wipes.

That would make a great coffee table book, wouldn't it...something with "girlfriends" in the title...and pictures of purses and the essentials from women in all walks of life all over the world. I like it!
