Yesterday was pretty uneventful. Was supposed to meet a friend but complications with flights kind of ruined all that :(:( I had Peking duck with the family though in the evening which was so so so yummy. Ate too much!
Today met up with a friend to go shopping.. last proper shopping trip in China! I also met a few new people that she knew which was cool, it's nice to see new faces :D We met in Xidan, and then went to Silk Street later on in the day. I didn't actually go with the intent of buying much stuff but I ended up spending most of the money that I had left.. Haggling was also much fun. Was told that we were very good at it by many of the sellers :D In the end it was the fake designer stuff that tempted me to splash my cash.. Silk Street was filled with foreigners, I'm glad that I wasn't seen as one as the sellers were constantly pestering them. One top that was quoted 180RMB for us was quoted at 380RMB for some foreigners that came later. Obv they didn't take it at that price (we didn't even take the price we were given) but foreigners must get ripped off loads more..
I am officially retail therapied-out.
It feels weird that I only have one more full day in China.. eek! Gotta leave for the airport early on the 28th..
