I&#8217;ll explain. It&#8217;s chinese tradition for the family of a new born baby to give out rice. So I got Bob&#8217;s new baby&#8217;s rice, delivered to my room, at 12:30, and without me even expecting it. so i decided i&#8217;m gonna wake up and  go down to the bagel shop and eat it there with a cup of tea. I did. Almost read through the entire Futurama comic book i bought before bob showed up and explain to me why I got rice delivered to my room at 12:30 in the morning. <br \/>\nAs suggested i go to teh Jade market and Flower market. And that he and his parents are going to the hospital, and it&#8217;s on thier way and they&#8217;ll give me a ride in half an hour.<br \/>\nBy that time, it was already 13:30, so i finished reading my comic book, and met bob at the office at 14:00, and they dropped me off there. <br \/>\nThere are 3 markets that are actually placed  under the highway bypass, where in weekdays they have a parking lot. They are very conservative when it comes to land space.<br \/>\nI went over them from north to south. The Jade market was first, and although it&#8217;s called  the jade market, it&#8217;s basically a jewlery\/crystal\/artifact market, which had a lort of non jade mechendise,  some cheap, some expensive. I got an oppurtunity to try out a lot of macro photography. A lot of the crystals there are so very beutifull, that i wish i&#8217;d have more then 128MB on my camera&#8230; But i guess many of these picture might look boring for the observer who havn&#8217;t been there. Like most of my pictures.<br \/>\nI continued to the other market, it&#8217;s called &#8220;Flower market&#8221;, but much like jade market, the majority of the merchendise aren&#8217;t flowers, but garden related. Flowers, plants, cactuses, small fountains that produce smoke , which i&#8217;m not actually sure but was told is water vapor, which is odd, because it&#8217;s not hot. I know Idan would have loved going there, there were A LOT of types of vegetation there, including herbs, like tea herbs. I even saw Nana there.  The this market is called handicaped holiday market, and i guess it&#8217;s because the salesman or artists there are handicaped in some way. There were all sorta Pitchifkes there. And some nice painting. Didn&#8217;t buy anything though because i didn&#8217;t find anything interesting&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAll in all, i must say i did a lot of walking and i feel like i&#8217;m sunburnt, although it&#8217;s imposibble becuase, a. there was no sun, b. the markets is UNDER the overpass, so even if there was sun, definently not there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was awaken today, even though not too early, with some rice.
