I now have a black belt in bargaining at the Silk Market. The place is quite simply, insane! I have been there four times, one alone the others with colleagues. The seller tells me something costs 580 yuan, I say 40, they ask if I am crazy I say yes. We haggle, compliment each other, beg and plead, they say they have to earn a living I say I have no money. I have gotten some great deals, like my Kung Fu Buddha, under $3. It is exhausting after about an hour but so much fun!
It's five floors, one stall after the other. I grabbed this shot, they discourage indoor photography, with my colleagues/friends Tim(white guy in black shirt on the left) and Morry (white guy with beard on the right).
By the way the big yellow tags around their necks, you'll notice that in all my photos as well, it is our credential which we only take off only in our rooms. I can't wait to live life without this hanging around my neck!!!!
