Shopping Center that looked like Time Square

Ivy found her name inside the department store where we bought her stroller

Tonight, after coming home from the Forbidden City (and a 3 hour nap), we went out to the shopping district in Beijing. It looked a lot like Time Square in New York. We lost our stroller at the airport, so we bought a new one here. Rick left his phone charger at home, so we found a mobile store and went in to see if we could buy a new one. They had one he could use, but it was $90. We decided he didn't need one that bad, so we left. As we were leaving, the sales girl asked us how much we were willing to pay. We knew we would be bargaining in China, but we thought it would be at the outside venders, not inside regular stores. We left paying $30 for the charger. We were a little surprised, but happy!
There were a lot of very expensive stores, it was very touristy. There were a group of gentlemen from Korea who asked if they could take a picture with Ivy. After they took the picture, they gave Ivy some Korean money. That was a little awkward. Back at the hotel now, it's 10pm in China. I hope we don't wake up at 4am again.
Counting down the hours until Luke. Just one more full day.
