June1st (Chinatown)

Yesterday Andy and i went made a trip to Chinatown with high hopes of getting some tasty dim sum. After taking a taxi, sky train and a subway we got to Chinatown only to find out most hinge opened at 3-4!   The subway was pretty neat - since we didn't have a pass card we bought a token that u scan when u leave the gate.  It's a lil black plastic coin similar to some key fobs that people get at work. Afterwards when u leave the station u just deposit at the last gate. 



The dim sum place we went to was pretty crappy but very cheap.  Everything on the menu was 20B so not even a dollar each.  Only two pcs per 

We had three rounds of food haha.  Basically ordered everything on the menu (there was a back page too) in ital our bill was about $10 cdn haha! The best thing was steamed custard bun...kinda hard to mess that up i suppose. 
This dim sum was pretty good just because it had a huge piece of duck egg yolk on it! Lol

After eating we wandered the streets and came across SO many shops that sold shark fin soup and displayed shark fins and mouths in the front of the store


LOOK AT ALL THOSE TEETH!!!!

The markets were all wholesale which means u have to buy in multiples.  Some stores u must buy 3 or sometimes 12 pieces! It's easy if your choosing stickers, jewellery etc but picking more than 1 purse when choices are limited is hard. Look at these super fun stickers for my kiddies

After a few hours of market walking  we gota kinda bored so we hit up the mall where i bought a pair of shorts and two polos for sports day at school.  I was also thinking when i go visit temples i can wear this too since u have to have your shoulders and knees covered. When ever i think of khaki dress pants and polos i think Koreans lol. But yea they were cheap $5 for a "Polo" shirt haha
