The Night Market
I just got back from the Hong Kong night market. The market is made up of a tremendous number of densely packed stalls which sell a variety of items. The most common are fake clothing and fake watches. My dad told me to shop at markets which only sell one type of item, but some stuff is very hard to resist. The best part of market shopping is definitely the haggling. As soon as I thought the vendor has reached his or her lowest price, I broke out the Chinese. (Wo mei you qian, Wo gei ni san shi wu HKD) Trust me, it helps big time. Even if i am speaking the wrong dialect :)
My haul for the night is (in US $):
1 Rolex $35 (serious bargaining in the US this is at least 150-200)
If only I could figure out how to set it.
1 Diesel Knapsack $10
2 Hugo Boss shirts $5.50 each
1 Bluetooth headset $20 (very nice)
And that's it for now...
Oh, also I came here wanting to have a custom suit tailored. I still plan on having it done, but it is amazing how hard it is to get away from the stupid tailors. (Who are not even Chinese.) I wish I knew who to go to...
