first night... an egg wrap with random things in it, eggs hard boiled
in soy sauce in a pot on the street, and a sweet potatoe steamed over
coals on the street... but those are not to weird, so who cares.
Tonight after we ate some normal hot-pot food, Nick and I walked
around the street markets again and had some banana doughnuts, deep
fried lotus root, whole squid on a stick, and fruit on a stick coated
in caramelized sugar on it. I love the food in place!
The big dissapointment thus far has been the prices on most of the
electronics that that I am after. Certain things like memory and the
like are cheap, but I have been dissapointed with the camera and
mobile phone prices. I think I actually offended one of the
saleswomen with the price u offered her for a camera. I did like the
DVD prices though.
Clothes, however, make the whole trip seem like a financial success. 2
custom suits (for less than the cost of one poor quality suits in the
states) and a lot of other clothes later I will bit need to buy much
for quite some time. I need to go for a touch-up fitting on Friday
then pick them up before I fly home on Saturday.
Well, after another failed attempt to post some pictures tonight (due
to the computers being occupied and then drinking with other random
travellers from England, Switzerland, and Germany) I will go to bed to
prepare for my 10k hike of the Great Wall tommorow.
