Welcome to Dong Jiao

A cheap market where you can find anything!

Including:

3 different types of hot dogs, and skewers of raw meat

shops with hair supplies, nail stuff, cleaning supplies, bags, pets, sunglasses, clothes, and more


girls walking around holding hands (oh wait - they do that everywhere in china!)

camping gear

next to the camping gear, toilet paper and supplies

cars and bikes trying to compete with pedestrians for space on the road
every kind of nut you have ever heard of

kids just peeing right into the street where you walk (a good reason to hold off on potty training til we come back to US)

lots of bikes and scooters

try sitting like this guy - even for 2 minutes - we passed him when we first got there and he was still in that same position an hr later when we left!!!

turtles

fish

street vendors selling potatoes or fruit - this guy yelled at me for taking his picture!!! AS IF!! People stare at us and take our pics all the time! I took it anyways wen he looked away!!!

These pics don't really do it justice, but it is one crazy place - luckily we did find what we were looking for - elastic!!!

When we got home Cash wanted a pic of him and Griff - a little dark but cute boys...my little market buddies!!!
