Houses we see along the way before we reach the antique street. It reflects how the poorer people in Shanghai actually lives. It reminds you that in a huge city like Shanghai, there are still people who can't even afford proper living. People still live in houses with dirty and cramp conditions, with dark alleys.

These houses and buildings are really old and according to Amos, they are built in 1822, or is it 1922? Haha..i forgot. Anyway you get my point, they are real old.

The old street.

There was a point of time, I saw this two old ladies sitting outside their house doing something (I was not close enough to see what), and I thought this was a really good inspiration for photo taking. Just when I took out my camera trying to snap a shot of them, the old lady caught me in action and I got scolded! =(
BUT in the end I did capture a human shot. And a pretty nice one too!


Found lots of interesting treasures!

Bought a really nice chess set for daddy. He will love it to bits!
Its in a wooden box with carvings of dragon on top.
The chess board is made of leather and the pieces are in the shape of 兵马俑.

Many stalls are selling CCP related stuff, like these 毛主席 badges, posters etc.

We met a really nice and enthusiastic seller of the 毛主席 badges. This uncle happen to be a collector of the badges himself and he took out so many of his proud collections to show to us and even tells us stories behind the badges. Apparently, there are badges pro and against 毛主席 and the anti 毛主席 badges can be identified by looking at the heads of 毛主席 on the badge. Anti badges have heads turned to the right while pro badges have heads turned to the left!

Me choosing from the huge collection. Bought 2 in the end, one anti one pro. And the friendly shopkeeper is standing next to me.

The 3 law guys are really cute. They are so into these antique stuff and can't resist to trying them out!
