I was only at the expo for a short time, but managed to catch part of the show. Suzy and I took 15 Maori on a shopping tour; it was awesome to hear about their traditions of tattooing. I’m looking forward to going back to the pavillion to see their entire performance!

You buy your tea for at least 78 RMB and then a massive buffet of snacks is included. Inside it’s decorated with antique furniture, stone statues and trickling streams with fish swimming in them. It is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours!

Sandhya said she read that they’d created new hybrid flowers that will withstand the flower-wilting hot summer!

The address of this little market is 261 Changhua Lu, near Kangding Lu. Look for a small entrance to the alleyway (above).  I was the only foreigner there and everyone stared a lot (not surprising, but always a bit uncomfortable!)  You can read another article about it here.
