I promised to share some of the 2000+ photos I took in China, but I forgot, until now. The dozing kittycat was discovered outside of a traditional house in Hangzhou (note the dynasty-era style lock on the door).
This top I bought in Zhengzhou reads: "what to focus on" and the word in the middle of the target says "happy". The day I bought this top I learned that I absolutely fail at haggling! The salesgirl said it was 80 yuan and I managed to get it down to 60, about 10 bucks. Feeling pretty pleased with myself, I told my cousin about it and she told me that everyone knew that the prices in that area are grossly inflated and I could have easily gotten the top for one-fourth of the asking price, 20 yuan, like 3 dollars...

ReplyDeleteThat cat looks so sad :(
ReplyDeleteIt breaks my heart.

Looks good for 10bucks!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet kitty cat! such sad eyes
ReplyDelete(this is late and you prob. won't get it)
ReplyDeletejust wanted to comment on the haggling- i totally know what you mean; vendors in china outrageously inflate prices for foreigners (and they always know who the outsiders are)
i also spent several days in hangzhou last month. it's gorgeous; did you visit taihu origins?
