Today was a pretty quiet day. We ventured out to a street market that
is near the hotel, and that was lots of fun. The first part of the market
was clothes, and I bought a little yellow outfit for Zoe for 10 yuan, which
is about $1.25, and a pair of shoes with bells that jingle, for 5 yuan,
which is about 65 cents! I was trying to bargain the price down, when I realized it was only 65 cents -- and that the seller would probably be feeding a family of 4 for that 65 cents! The next part of the market was the food market, with live chickens and eels and fish, waiting to be bought. There were lots of fruits and vegetables we didn't recognize. One of the vendors gave us a banana for the baby, and Zoe did like it when we got back to the room and broke it up into tiny pieces. |
