Mikey and I decided to take a little walk for some coffee and some early morning "bao tze" (Portland calls them Hum Bao) to fuel everybody for our trip out to the "Dirt Market."



Mikey started out with some 'bucks.  



Just within 2 blocks of Alexa's apartment is a thriving neighborhood "Hfuton," or street food shops area. We passed through it to Alexa's building where Nike & the nearest 'bucks are housed. Then we cut back to pick up some dumplings.




Here a guy is selling some stuff off of his bicycle. I think it was eggs.




Mikey remembered this man from his previous visits to Beijing. His bicycle is packed with fresh apples.




I couldn't help snapping a quick photo when this woman's jacket made me laugh.









Here are some thousand year eggs cooking up for the morning's customers.

Oh my god, don't know where to start...why do Bucks look the same in every country?? OK, how is that man balancing all those boxes, let alone boxes of EGGS?? How much do you think that lady paid for the Juicy Couture knock off?? Thousand-year eggs...hmm. Not too appetizing! Hopefully for an event that occurs every thousand years, and not an indication of their age LOL!!!
And cool, you saw Alexa, I wonder how the Nike gig Olympics thang is going. MAN I wish for anything Ayize and I could have joined you for this adventure!! Hopefully one day, Uncle Jo...
In the meantime, thanks for keeping us all posted and giving us vicarious travel thrills...
