We made a quick trip to the bazaar store (there are many in the city, each run by a Chinese family) with floor to ceiling shelves and racks of barely organized, inexpensive goods - many of which are hard to find elsewhere. We needed a new kitchen trash can (woo-hoo, now we have one for recyclables and we don't have to use the counter.) It is one part scavenger hunt, one part shopping trip.
The store was crowded, but my Spanish class was not. Today there were only two students. The two Russian students are gone until September 3rd. I think one other student comes back next week, so we may be back up to three. I like a small class, but I can't believe they will continue running it if it doesn't grow.
Tonight the street was really hopping with families and tourists of all types. I went out for a short walk after dinner, but now it is time to go to bed so I can be fresh for our early travel tomorrow.
