The Jade Market

Its been raining a lot here. I checked the forecast and it says rain for the next 10 days...ugh. It sucks because it really is gorgeous everywhere and I want to get some pictures that truly reflect what I am seeing. In the heart of the city lies the ladies market and the jade market. The ladies market offers fakes to the highly sought after labels that plague our society but, hey, sell what sells-I'm not opposed to that. However, it is slightly annoying that upon sighting westerners, the street vendors instinctively run up to give their offers for "copee watch," "lou vittone," etc. In spite of this slight annoyance, it's hard to pass up the opportunity to haggle with the incessantly persistent vendors even without the slightest intention of buying the item. By the time they see your back, you can pretty much name your price- including the 30 HKD I paid for this lime green Juicy clutch. Get exicited Nicole...it's heading your way!
