Markets Everywhere

We wandered down Shanghai street this afternoon after taking some coffee at the hotel to battle our jetlag. The street itself was packed with vendors selling fruits, vegetables, dried meats, sausages and all kinds of other foods both familliar and unknown. At Kansu street we wandered around the jade market for a few minutes. Nam found a bracelet that she liked and I succeded in negotiating the price (completely in mandarin) from 75HKD down to 28HKD (about $3 US). It's probably not real jade, but who cares.
