Today I went to the jade market with a friend. He'd never been before so it came as a bit of a surprise to him. The masses of tables, curios, jewellery, ceramics, beads and gemstones (some authentic and some not) everywhere. It's a hive of activity filled with people bartering and bustling around everywhere in search for a bargain, and a lot of fun (so long as you don't get ripped off.)
Later I met up with some Korean friends (said some more goodbyes) for some drinks. It was a surprisingly good night until our taxi driver tried to scam us by taking us the wrong way home. (One of the serious disadvantages of being a foreigner.) Thankfully, my friends flat comes complete with security guards who sorted everything out for us and managed to stem the tide of angry remarks in various different languages that were flying back and forth, most of which I couldn't understand. (I think that may have been a good thing.)
