Soooo.... everyone want to go SHOPPING!

I was at three markets.... Silk, Pearl and big one close to hotel....

This is real silk sah.... feel... only 1500RMB for you sah....  :nutter:
Now if you are so stupid to
1. believe its silk
2. believe its a good price
3. believe the TV hype about their honesty
We there you go, a fool gets seperated from his money....

Pearls - hahahaha....dont even think that ANYTHING is gold or silver!
Watches (and I bought few so if I get robbed, Malema can pick them out of the loot for himself)... very good copies...so should keep the scum happy and leave...
Fake WOOD!  :help:
Fake eggs....yes eggs  :facepalm:
Fake Stainless steel - a kind of pewter, made from melted metal/plastic/whatever

BUY toys here!! After all its made here  :thumbs:

YES they greet back - One up on Germany - but mostly fake the friendliness.... At least with the Germans you know they dont want to greet you  >:D

But my heart goes out for the POOR here, my goodness people, thay have NO hope, work so so so hard. and THERE is honesty. When you greet them there is first genuine surprise, then a genuine smile and real greeting. I REFUSE to bargain with them, I pay for they need it.

There are slums all over Beijing, behind walls. But you can walk through there, the people are PROUD and you will surely not be harmed. Right next to skyscrapers, forbidden palace etc.
