Day 6, last day in China!

We decided to go shopping for our last day. We asked the hostel staff to write the name of a shopping centre in chinese to show to the taxi driver. After some confusion, they wrote something down, and off we went. We got kicked out of three different taxi's.
Eventually we got to a shopping centre, and it was pretty bizarre. There were two HUGE centres across the road from each other; one very posh, designer clothes, air conditioning, open spaces, with Western prices. The other, cheap, thousands of tiny stalls packed with designer clothes, most of them fake, many of them with humourously misspelled slogans. Sarah did manage to fins a genuine Betty Boop handbag, made of real leather, and fell in love with it. We also bought ourselves a new memory card for the camera, as we'd almost filled up the first one.

Confession: we went to MacDonalds for lunch.
