Best Deal Ever?

More on our visit to the Silk Market in Beijing…

I decided to buy a sporty winter parka while at the Silk Market in Beijing. Having bought one similar the last time I was in China I knew the price I should expect to pay. I was slightly surprised when the opening price was 1200rmb, but I managed to bargain the girl down and was happy to pay 110rmb. But there was a catch… I had to buy her and her two mates an ice-cream each. She grabbed me by the arm and led me to the nearest ice-cream stall where I shelled out 6rmb for three red bean ice-creams. All happy and a good deal I reckon.
