Day 7 – Lama and Confucius Temple, Hutong Tour and Drum Tower

Confucius temple was interesting. The CRAZZZZYYYY cricket man was SWEEET lol….he was very excited to tell us his about cricket fights lolol…
The rickshaws were also pretty COOL. Yifang and I creeped out one of the drivers by pretending that we (probably the biggest in the group) were going to ride one together while the guy drives us lol..his reaction was funny 
I also found out that Angela is a really good bargainer. Based on two instances where I’ve witnessed her bargaining skills, I’ve compiled a set of rules for getting the best deals when bargaining:

This is how she does it – she just says “no” lolol – she got a shirt dropped from 980 yuan to 80 yuan, and a flute from 50 yuan to 5 yuan. Lol...

At the end of the day we also learned “How to drink tea” – There is a smelling cup and drinking cup. The smelling cup is skinnier and we hypothesized that it concentrates the smell more towards the nostrils, while the drinking cup is shorter and wider for the mouth to get the most out of every sip lol...
