Yesterday we went to the Pearl Market - saw a beautiful string of black pearls listed at 36,000 RMB or $5625 (US). When Theresa walked away saying that was too much the price came down to 7800 RMB or $1218 CDN. We still walked but you get the idea - nothing is as it seems.
This morning we walked five minutes from our apartment to a grocery store in the IFC mall where we found beef from Australia, Milk from the UK, Pork from Canada, and wine from all over the world. Going to be pressed to feel like we are living anywhere other than the Western hemisphere.
We are heading back to Toronto in a few hours and then on to Montreal to pack up the condo and say good bye to Montreal.
Now it's on to Shanghai - a whole new experience that we'll share with you on this wonderful ride we call our lives.
Though I'm not back in Shanghai till May, Theresa returns Apr 3. Hopefully she'll pick up the postings till I return.
P.S. Did i mention we ordered in a bottle of wine with take out dinner and it was here in 15 minutes - cost of the diner $15.00 cost of the winr $15.00 - and no tipping.
