Shop! Shop! Shop!

Our first Saturday in Hangzhou included a ton of shopping! I have been itching to get out and look around and spend a little of the money I saved up for the trip.

The day started with a stop at our favorite breakfast food cart, Starbucks, and watching the older ladies do Tai Chi. The city was very quiet this morning which was a nice break from the constant honking. We then took a walk over to Century Mart (the four story grocery store, but has pretty much everything you could ever need from Northface jackets to chicken feet). We grabbed some necessities like a big bath towel and some oatmeal, and some luxuries like a can of Bear Beer we just could't resist (the taste testing will come soon). We realized this week that our diet is missing some fiber so we grabbed prunes, apples, and nuts to get things going.

Just to show the diversity of Century Mart… here is one of the ordinary events that occur throughout the day… net your own fish for dinner!
