Site Seeing Saturday - Silk Market

I didn't get any pictures of the Silk Market. Think of a huge flea market in your mind and stack about 5 on top of that. It was so crazy I can't explain it. Everyone is grabbing you to have you look in there shop and there are thousands of shops. I'm not joking, I really would say around a thousand shops but may had similar things for sale. Note, may were also owned by the same person so if your 'shopping around' make sure you go to may of them.

If you go, leave all emotions at the door. They will start crazy high and only come down of price when you walk away. They also will lie to you with no problem: say it's at the cost to make it but end up selling it to you for less, agree on a price then say it was for a smaller version, hold something up with a price but have the price actually be for something different, or my favorite get pissed and throw something b/c your taking advantage of them. I kept falling for the 'this shirt 2 USD' but when you stop and say you'll take it they pull out some crap shirt. I did buy a great wall shirt for 2 USD by the way so you can get a good deal. Just don't go if you need something and be able to walk away and not buy it. Oh, and I thought lots of the stuff was crappie made knockoffs. I have no problem with knockoffs but at least make a quality version of it.
