Where Everything is For Sale...

We visited the Silk Street Pearl Market, where everything is for sale and quality is assured. The place is insane.


Despite the madness, Avianna and Lien kept their smiles, as always.

The crowds here are impossible . People crammed in, no prices in sight, and every vendor asking if you want to get a special deal just for you. Ummmmmm, they lacked sincereity.


Clothing for all season was available here. BTW: there were 5-6 floors just like this. Imagine the Downtown Hbc store, but divided up into 5x10 stalls.


All the major brands (Ferrari shown) have outlets here. Polo, Abercombie, etc. You name it, they got it.



Did I mention that everything is for sale here? I don't think that the foreigners chatting them up should open with "Excuse me, miss, but are you free for the evening?" It was a first in China, for me, to see some of the Jarvis Street crowd out, so, like any good tourist, I took a picture. Note: there's another guy on the picture doing the exact same thing.

Ciao.
