Well I meant to study today but Anna and I, along with Zhe Ge Laoshi went back to the pearl market to do some shopping for gifts for people. I only bought stuff for my sister and my mom so far. I’m not really sure what to get my friends back home. Margaret and Caroline said that in Beijing they have I <3 B J shirts and I would love to get those for all my guy friends but I don’t know if we have time to go to Beijing before we leave.
I had wanted to get a new purse today but I couldn’t really find one I liked too much so I think I will get it another time. I did get a jade flower bracelet. I don’t know if its real jade or what though. The lady wanted 35 yuan for it but I got it for 15. I think that’s a decent deal, its a little more than 2 bucks USD. Anna was really good at bargaining. I’m not because I don’t like pissing people off. There was this one shop owner yelling at some white guy as he walked out of her store going, “Your price is crazy! Impossible”.
After shopping we went for hot pot. Most of the other girls have never gone before and the table behind us was very amused. They were watching us and when the girls started talking about where to get drinks they all started pointing and one lady went to help them. Gotta admit it was pretty amusing.
