We walked back through the park to the bus and began the trip to the market. The roads were a challenge to get anywhere, but our driver was very skilled in doing whatever it took to get where we needed to go.
The market was an interesting mix of little shops, vendors, artisans demonstrating their crafts, museums with re-creators, food shops, tea shops -- and a Dairy Queen. They also had carnival games --throwing a ball to knock down the pins. My favorite was the
guy demonstrating a vegetable slicer. I felt like I was at a home show, except it was all in Chinese. The little boy seems to be feeding the pigeons -- an unusual sight in this country.
The last picture shows a lady pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair. The grandmother was using a newspaper as a sun visor held on by a headband, and the lady was looking through the trash can. In other cities, we saw people carrying a small mirror to look inside the protected containers to determine if there was anything of value.
