i'm strange, and i like it, that's just the way i am :D
Day 16 !
I didn’t go to the coca cola factory as I was unable to get out of bed on time (because I slept very late on the previous night) .
We went for lunch before taking the lecture test at 2pm .
After the test , we went to the back alley to shop for clothes and coats (for the cold weather during the trip to wudang shan) .
We tried bargaining but did not get the best deal as we are not very skilled at bargaining and did not dare to lower the price too much .
The owner of the shop will always have reasons to prevent us from bargaining: ‘The things sold here are already at their lowest price’ or ‘We are clearing stuff and this price is the lowest you can get’ or ‘By lowering to ___ amount , I’ll be making a loss’ .
After hearing their reasons , we just nod our heads and spend some time considering if it is worth buying .
Usually I’ll still end up buying the stuff .
We then went to a shop that sells things such as bracelets , earrings , nail polish and many many other stuff .
The owner of the shop was very friendly and even tried communicating with us in english .
Hearing Yvette and Qiuyan coughing quite seriously , she even recommended us to buy medicine from a nearby pharmacy .
After chatting for quite some time , we found out that the coat she was wearing was actually made by a company she works in !
She said she made it herself and we were all very amazed .
She even ran all the way to her other shop to get the same coat and ask if I want to purchase it .
In the end , I bought it .
She said that the coats were made in china by them , and they get exported to other countries and are actually sold at 300rmb !
She only charged me 45rmb and still asked if I still want her to lower the price further .
I felt that the deal was already good enough so I told her that there’s no need to lower the price .
We packet our dinner (xiao long baos and dumplings with a cup of tea each) , and went back to our dorm to do our OIE project , which we have to present the next day .
♥this place is cold like brrrrr ~
