Unplanned Pearl Market Trip

Had a lazy day today but needed to vacate the room for housekeeping so popped outside and decided spur of the moment to pop to the famous pearl market. A short subway ride away, it has 3 levels of watches, clothes, jewellery and crafts. A place where haggling is a must.

We perused the goods amidst the relatively aggressive vendors and enjoyed ourselves. Some nice goods and some knock offs. Lots of beautiful things - helped that we have so little space to clog up our bags so meant we didn't buy as much!

But we did end up buying a watch each for about 30 bucks a piece (from an initial price of about 80 or 100). Intense haggling but good fun.

Met a guy who does beautiful little glasses and vases. He can then paint your name inside in tiny font. Very cool and not too expensive. But we bought the cheap imitation one for 2 bucks instead ☺.

After that, ate and visited a supermarket warehouse type place. Oddly empty and many bare shelves. Was odd.

Then home, ate some steamed buns. Watched a movie and slept for our 8am start tomorrow.Читать далее
