Market Heaven!

Silk Market! I can't say more, but I will. I traveled into downtown Beijing where I met my fellow classmates that came over on Sunday. I ate sliced lamb that is cooked kind of like fondue. There is a bowl of water mixed with spices. Inside the hollow area of the bowl is where there is coals from a previous fire. The lamb is placed inside where it cooks and then you can dip it in the sesame seed sauce. It was hard to get used to but there was also veggies to go with it. Ok, let me talk about the silk market. Mohamed and I went to it after meeting with the person he would be working with. He was there earlier in the day and bought an Armoni suit for 50 USD. This amounts to 410 RMB. There is anything and everything you want and MORE. I 'm afraid that April won't have enough room in her suitcase. So April start saving your money. They have everything over here. Right now we are waiting for Dr. Wu who is our professor to come and meet us at our rooms. I will write more about my room situation later. For now I have to go and make a phone call. Beijing out!
