| It's true, pajamas are daywear in China--- like, walk around town clothes. We think it's really funny, but we're not brave enough to actually buy them. |
Where's the graffiti in China? It's noticeably absent from the Chinese urban landscape.
Except, it's all over the buildings in Chongqing's art district, Huangjueping, so PCV Stephanie and I met up to take a look around on Saturday afternoon.
The art district is a long street with graffiti buildings and wall, lots of artist studios and art supply stores, an art university, and an art museum.

Like all neighborhoods, the art district has an open-air market for buying food. Shopping in these markets takes a stout stomach, an open mind, and decent negotiation skills. Fortunately, Chinese numbers have specific hand gestures which makes communicating somewhat easier because the Chongqing dialect is hard to understand. OK, it's impossible for me to understand.
