Last week we had a few days off so explored Yiwu for the first time properly. We had another crack at the night market, and without the stress of Peter hurrying us along and the stress of dad's sweat on his brow had rather a successful shopping trip. We arrived home with about 2 billion DVDs for us and the boys, plus cacti for ourselves and TURTLES!!! Bill they are pretty ripper. They are little wriggley creatures though I am kind of scared of mine to tell the truth, I don't like touching it that much, its like a big wriggley roach or something! Mine is called life to try and ward off its inevitable death, Case's is called classy, which you guys wont understand!
We also managed to buy some kind of ice cream type material which was pretty delicious, it actually reminded me a lot of Ice cream charlies, apart from unfortunately it was the "never quite as good" kiwi fruit flavour.
The following day we scoped out a nearby park, which has an entrance fee. We were thinking that the reason for the entrance fee would have been because of its extreme beauty. Turns out we were only half right. It was a pretty park, but it had kind of circus areas and dungy rollarcoasters all around the park. It was kind of cool being somewhere that resembled a themepark in china without any crowds. Unfortunately the circus part was the most disgusting thing I have seen in China. It was pretty much like watching an advert for WSPA or something. One of the shows was 4 lions and a tiger, who got released from the tiniest cages, only to get whipped walk up stairs and along a plank. Even worse than that was the second show we saw. It had bears, monkeys and even a bloody goat walking al0ng a tightrope-like contraption. Then it had boxing bears, with boxing gloves strapped to them. Honestly I didn't know which IO wanted to do, scream cry or throw up!
The worst part about it was that the chinese families, watched the whole thing with glee. They truly didn't think that there was anything wrong with it it was pretty shocking. But apart from that the park was pretty cool. The rollarcoasters were scary enough and THERE WAS PROPER GRASS. We took off our shoes and lounged in it!
