Entrance to the
Panjiayuan Antiques Market, a mixture of handicraft stalls and antiques...
After Miche had
availed herself of a mother-of-pearl bracelet from the craft part of the
market; the marquee had the real Bargain Hunt style lots...
Miche quickly
took the role of my 'expert' and was off finding things for me to look at -
I had gone there for 50's Mao era items and left with a bust, a pot, a medal
and a badge...
With Wang who
had driven us around for the previous 3 days; he had saved us a lot of time
and getting lost, which was why we were able to see as much as we did...
Our 'new' old
hotel in Beijing with quite a history to it...
