Calling all San Francisco bargain shoppers!
 

I'm leaving for SF Thursday, and I am looking for suggestions for places to shop for deco for my new classroom. I want a multi-cultural atmosphere and whatever I buy must hang from the walls or ceiling. Chinatown for a large paper dragon is about all I can come up with. Any suggestions?

Japantown for japanese things?

The Mission of Mexican and South American things?

Thanks! That will be helpful.

OK. Looking back at my original post it sounds like a no brainer. I suppose I meant if there are any shops in particular that stand out, please let me know. Thanks!

Of course you can buy a pinata on Mission street, but then you'll have to watch it or the kids will break it to get the candy out! =P~

You can also buy a kite, maybe Maritime museum - Hyde street pier area? Somebody here should know better where kites are sold.

Check Flax--all kinds of neat stuff. Located out on Market. Go to flaxart.com.

I know Faina can tell you what to do with a kite, too!!! :*

Bookhall, I liked what I saw on flaxart.com. I will have to go there. FainAgain, kites are something I haven't thought of. I have alot to do before I leave, please let this thread die or I won't be able to walk away from the computer! Thanks!

There is a huge Cost Plus World Market near the wharf area (if I remember correctly). They have tons of ethnic stuff for cheap.
