Our first stop before going to the fabric market. Actually, it seems we stop here far too often. The money is getting "recycled" far too quickly!
Ridley wanted his pants copied exactly, so the only way to do that was to remove them and have the tailor measure them inch by inch! Here he is, in one booth out of hundreds at the fabric market, waiting to get his pants back! There are booths for everything. The girls had their backpacks made at one. Every cloth related item imaginable. Storey in the foreground with her new backpack and purse, that she bargained for. The girls are quickly learning how to bargain when it is their own money being used! Paige has begun collecting earrings for her future hope of pierced ears. The vendors in front of the fabric mart have some fun things that Paige has been eying for awhile. One vendor quoted her 68 yuan for large hoops with turquoise beads. Paige ended up paying 10. All bargaining done on her own! Better than my still developing negotiating skills.
As we were heading home we saw this Trek bike shop. We couldn't believe there was one right here. Had to immortalize it to show the Trek shop down the street from us in St. Louis.
