A Few Pictures

This is the local market area. It is about a 15-20 minute walk from our apartment, and you can buy anything there -- fruits, vegetables, meat (open air vendors, so probably not something we're ready to try), noodles, rice, oil, household supplies -- even Oreos, Pantene, Tide, and Tang! We bought some tomatoes and apples from this particular vendor, and both were excellent. We spent 7.50 yuan on about 8 apples and a half pound of cherry tomatoes. That equals about $1! Veggies are cheaper than meat here, from what we can tell.

I put more pictures on our Flickr site, as they are easier to upload there. So check them out!

I'll add more to the Flickr site in the next few days, so be sure to check there often.
