Today I spent quite a lot of money, but I also got many things for the money. Or what do you say about a tailor made suit, three tailor made shirts, three t-shirts, ten underpants (all from Yashow Market), six pair of good-looking socks, three good quality shirts (all from Silk Market), and hiking/jogging shoes (only 200 yuan at a shopping center very near the hotel) for 2215 yuan (2650 SEK)? It might sound like a great deal of money, but in Sweden you would at least have to pay the double price! Ok, it is a market and the quality is a bit unsure - but the shirts and the underwear seems to be of fairly high quality and having a tailor-made suit in Sweden would probably cost A LOT more than here (850 yuan). Also the shoes seem really good!

Eva at work has found an alternative laundry place which is about half the price of the hotel. Someone from the laundry firm will come and collect our laundry Saturday morning and hand it back the next day. Still it is cheaper to buy new socks than to hand them in for laundry only one time...

I söndags blev det hot pot (se bilden) på Ding Ding Xiang vilket var mycket lyckat och gott och i måndags besökte vi (jag och Lotta) Purple Haze. Maten på Purple Haze var väl inte fullt så god, men miljön var rätt härlig i alla fall. Men hmm... var ä...
