China, where are all of your good fakes?

so I went to Qipu market today with my chinese class, which was awesome to begin with because we didn't have regular class. but it took an hr to get there on the bus :( then we only had like two hours to shop this giant building with 6 floors of clothes, shoes, bags, etc.

I got a cute pair of shoes, like bowling type shoes but not really. dunno how to describe them but they're cute. I think I paid too much for them but oh well. (only $12 USD) And I got a cute sweater with bows on it. It's weird though, you can't try anything on so you just have to guess. and if you ask them if they have any bigger sizes, they look you up and down and say "bigger? NO", ya cuz I'm a fat ass, thanks china. so whatever. there are other clothing places, but we ran out of time. the bags weren't that good either. nothing looked like it was actually inspired by real designers. I don't really want a stuffed animal as a purse, thank you very much. I wonder if I can sell them my real marc jacobs bag and get some money? haha. the search for good handbags continues

now i'm just chilling in my room. just did 3.5 hrs of chinese hw. so boring.

tomorrow I'm going to a special meeting at my internship on Climate Change. They're bringing in experts from a bunch of places (western countries I think), should be pretty awesome. And tuesday I'm going to a forum on religion in china. cool! hope it's in english...
