In case you were worried that I just work and visit cultural sights here I am receiving a calligrapher's work at the press center. I have been watching his exhibitions and finally asked if I could have one done for me. Since they spoke no English and I no Chinese (except a few choice phrases) we left the subject matter to him. I am told it has to do with prosperity and happiness along with the date and his signature, although some of us think it could also say, dopey foreigner!
I have been practacing my bargaining as well. I want to show a photo of the Silk Market but have been too concentrated on a good price to take out my camera. They are all impressed when I say Tai gui le! (too expensive)
