Sunday Evening, Oct. 19….back from shopping

October 19th, 2008

Good evening everyone.  Well we ventured out again today.  We went shopping downtown at jimo market.  I love jimo market.  Once again, we had to take a taxi.  Taking a taxi is like having a death wish.  People do what they want on the road here, there must not be any rules when driving.   They drive into oncoming traffice and it seems like you are gong to get into a head on collision.  People honk alot here.  It is called honk and go.   We do not like the driving here in China.  It is about a 40/45 minute ride and along the way we seen 2 or 3 accidents.  I thought my husband was the worst driver in the world, not anymore…..LOL.  And then let’s talk about crossing the street.  Here pedestrians do not have the right of way, you WILL be hit if you don’t get out of the way.  The chinese like to use their horns alot, I mean alot. 

We ended up doing quite well shopping.  We bought gorgeous hair clips, North Face jackets, Coach Purses, Gucci watch, Gucci purse, wallets, and Chinese pajamas and more.  As we were exiting jimo, there were these men outside selling real mink fur, tigers, skins, etc. from real animals.  Diane looked at one the was a neck wrap/scarf, the mouth was the clip.  How sad……..poor animals. 

Brooke has another spinal injection tomorrow.  I will write more tomorrow, I am tired now.  Goodnight
