For anybody out there who plan to visit Beijing, you should spare some money for shopping at this place. The place is huge, the quality of the goods are fine, and the salesgirls speak pretty good English and friendly. One thing you must remember, do not ask for the price until you are sure that 1) you really like the thing, 2) you definitely want to buy it and 3) you have a price in mind. Stick to your price no matter what. If in the end they definitely cannot give you the price, just leave nicely. They are OK with it. They don't shout or harrass you, or whatever. You may come back later if you find that other stalls also cannot give your price. That's what I learned from my first visit Yya Show market today (Thanks William for taking me there!). Since I didn't carry that much RMB and my account was quite tight, I didn't shop that much despite the temptation. I got two pairs of knitted sweater; one for Aum and another for our baby and a couple of table runs which I know Aum likes.See what I got for my baby. Cute eh? Knitted, and for 35 ringgit I think it's not bad although I'm sure I could've got it cheaper had I tried harder.
Advised by William, I visited a night spot called "Lotus Lane" downtown. It is situated on a river bank and located along the lane are pubs and restaurants. And if you are looking for girls, then this is one of the places to be. Bear in mind that prostitution is illegal in China! So, unlike Bangkok, things are not done openly. There were probably up to five persons approached me offering the "services". Since I was so hungry I had no time to layanlah. They left me once I got into one of the restaurants.
