Chengdu, Day 30

Shopping in Chengdu City
 
Break at Haagen-Dazs

 
Saw a Permier of a new television show
 

After a month of studying and living here in Chengdu, today, we were given the opportunity to roam around the city by ourselves and take some time to catch up on our shopping. It was one of the most long awaited trips that I believe everyone was anticipating and it surely did not disappoint.  Although everyone was still sleepy after having to wake up early that day for the trip, we were all too excited to even care.

Roaming around the city was a trilling experience as we were able to finally live the city life here in China a view China from a modern perspective after living in the rural campus for so long. We started with a western breakfast which I believed everyone had been missing till now. After satisfying our dietary needs, we started on our tour around the city to start our shopping journey. Shop after shop, my group and I view prices and tried on the products and slowly made our individual purchases.  Comparing the prices was a chore, but we did our best to settle on the lowest price on every item we buy, even the food that we ate.

Hours pass and soon we were out of time to shop. We scrambled to get our last few purchases and head back to the meeting point. Delighted by what we have accomplished that day, I can happily say that I have experienced shopping in China.
