"Mister, We Have Your Buddha Size"

Well, my second day off has finally come around, an I wanted to take full advantage of the opportunity. So Dave, Arin, and myself decided to take the subway to a place called the Silk Market, which is four stories of booth after booth selling really inexpensive items from watches to "underwears". First of all, I was a little apprehensive about taking the subway. I have been taking taxis everywhere in the city, not knowing what to expect from the subway system. The train was surprisingly clean, air conditioned, and very good shape! And best of all, I can ride the subway for free with my Olympic accreditation badge. So I'm thinking this is the way to go. It was a little crowded at times, but nothing different than New York City during rush hour.

We arrived at the Market and began winding through the seemingly endless rows of clothes, hats, ipods, Nintendo Wii's, you name it, you can get it there. I ended up buying three Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirts, two authentic Chinese shirts (which are freakin' cool), and two pair of brand new Nike Air Max tennis shoes all for $150 U.S. it was a steal...


The craziest thing about this market was that as you pass every booth, the lady working there would call to you, grab you bag, pull your arm hair, anything to get you to step inside. It was a little overwhelming at times, especially when you have three or four Chinese ladies pulling in all different directions. Dad, you would gone crazy.... guaranteed

Here are the kicks....
Arin got this North Face coat for $42 U.S.
Tonight I am taking another shot at finding the Noodle Loft. We got lost last time, but the second time is always a charm, right? Or is that the third time is always a charm?!?! I don't know.
