snapshots from nanjing 1

9 comments

a large large LARGE post

was waiting to cross the street, when i saw this gentleman with his birdcage, walking with a birdcage is a distinctive beijing (northern china) thing to do, guess not

as i’ve said, i’ve expressed a gaining, and it’s gaining great speed, interest in small antiques. so decided to hit up the antiques market. you can’t buy stuff here, you just can’t, they could tell with one glance what kind of a buyer you are. also they don’t have anything really good ever. but it’s important to understand the market…or something like it. It’s similar to beijing’s antique market (the curio city) but on a much much smaller scale

whatchu lookin’ at?

and we’re back here, see the post i made last year about this location didn’t change much, more food stalls which is always a plus

where i got my rilakkuma phone case, it was really hard to find cases for my phone everyone has an iphone4! haha, man if i had an iphone i’d have 10000 cases just because there’s literally that many to chose from.

ate a lot of the same things as last year

the night is always young, nobody goes home, seriously

    Omg thanks for the photos T_T I miss NJ so much. I remember seeing a lot of old people with bird cages growing up there, so it’s definitely not a Beijing thing :)

    Whey hey, love the Nanjing pics – we only spent a handful of hours there and visited … A temple and palace. Clearly I was paying attention after our bus trip – I’ll figure it out when it comes to posting them up – you’ll probably know exactly where all my pics are from (my Chinese is still pretty dodgy)!
