Shanghai News 5: Markets around Shanghai (3/3)

Fake market:
Do you want to buy a Longchamp or a Calvin Klein for 4€? Or Ray Ban classics for 1€? In the fake market impossible is nothing (or anything is possible if you prefer the Chinese copy…haha).



The quality is really bad of course (be careful if you buy shoes) but for sunglasses or bags it is fun!! Chinese will tell you the products are real ones (but cheaper for you, special price for you…etc).



See you and have fun!!!!!!

Shanghai News 5: Markets around Shanghai (Part 2)

Dongtai Lu:
This market is near Dongtai Lu (the antiquity market)!
You can find lots of things funny and beautiful at the same time.
Do not forget to negotiate the price! Negotiation is a game here and it is really funny.
It is impossible to know the real price of something in China!
That is why the best way to buy something is to decide before what is the price you want to pay (for example, I want to pay 0,5Y for a postcard and no more: negotiate until the price you want is achieved)!
And after let's play: laugh, let them think you are leaving, prance…
Most of the time, you will buy something you just don't care about but it is so funny!! At the same time, it is also boring to negotiate all the time (tiring) and to have the impression of getting ripped most of the time!

Animals and plants market:
Last weekend I went with two friends (try to guess who…☺) to the animals and plants market. There you can find cats, dogs, gold fish, locust (or grasshopper), frogs, chickens…
The smell is hard to bear and the conditions the animals are living are quite hard (6 little cats in a hamster coop).
I already went there one month ago and the weather was cool (20°C) but now it is more than 30°C and the animals are dying in their coops.
