Day 1 - China Town

China Town was a lot of fun, but there were a few things there that I wish now I would have bought while I was there.  We were able to wander around for about 2 hours (roughly).  A lot of the places had the same things as other places but there was definately fun stuff to look at. Some of the food places had live birds that you could pick out to eat, I guess they were going for the lobster way of eating (picking them fresh).
This picture is from the inside of a bakery. Some of the girls really had to go to the bathroom and nobody would let them.  There was a public restroom that was on the street corner, but it was totally trashed and unusable. There was a really nice chinese bank on one of the corners, so the girls went in there and were quickly rushed out and told to go check at this bakery. They did have one, but we had to buy something in order for all 6 of them to use it. So, we looked at the stuff they had and the big box of raw eggs just sitting by the door (not refridgerated) and finally bought a roll for sixty cents.  The other items were so scary, they were not in a fridge either and had "meat" and eggs in them and it was the afternoon, so we didn't want to chance it. I am really not even sure if anyone ended up eating the roll, I think they used it to ask a boy to an upcoming dance.  They also have a really funny bathroom story that happened while they were in the bathroom, but if you want to hear that you have to ask Jerika.

Another thing you notice in China town are the FANCY cars everyone drives. Either everyone is in the Chinese mafia or they make A LOT of money on their little trinkety things that they sell.

Doesn't she look thrilled?  At this point I think we were all getting a little tired out.

I wanted at least one picture of the lanterns they had hanging everywhere.
