Thanks! It’s always fun to watch the vendors, and sometimes they’re as close as your face! We even had folks board the buses with us to sell everything from postcards to fans! It’s just part of travel, I suppose. Thanks for the tip on looking at a map. We did the same thing hunting for the insect market in Shanghai (another post comin’ up)!

Rusha, I love the hat guys! Talk about characters. :) I’m still catching up on your wonderful trip. I remember when we were there several years ago (in the winter), I looked at a map and set off on a walk, thinking I’d do 15-20 blocks. But what I discovered was that a block was HUGE – a much greater distance than anything I’d ever experienced! Lesson learned: Check the map scale! :) ~Terri

Thanks for joining me on this journey! China is fascinating! And the hat guys are in a long line with other souvenir vendors! These just seemed to have more showmanship than others did!

Hmm interesting…I don’t recall seeing such fancy hat patterns when in Beijing, but that was 15 years ago. Keep up your posts about this interesting country, the info is invaluable!

I hope to post a few more this week and next. I had to travel a lot with my job of training teachers the past two weeks. (Everyone wants professional development at the beginning of school!) Thanks for stopping by. Have a great trip to China. Would love to go for a month!!!

The hats were neat, for sure, but we loved the guys who sold ‘em even better. Great showmanship!
