You live, you learn

Have been spending most of my off-teaching time haggling for products over the last few days. Got a bag (last year, 300RMB) for 80RMB; and today another friend and I got one for 50. Got a 32GB flash drive (yes, it is that ridiculously huge) for 50RMB (last year, 2GB for 170RMB). Also bought some Foakleys for 25RMB (last year, 50) and various other things at a 2RMB shop that cost 10-20RMB last time.

Also got a tailor to make me some suits (a white tie penguin suit and a white suit for garden parties), not much cheaper than last year but I'm a little wary of haggling too hard with a tailor as I actually have to rely on their services for the week or two after purchase. Going for the fitting tomorrow.
