A Lijiang market 2


























































































































































There is no shortage of anything except maybe sanitation. It wasn't that dirty, I've seen markets in Palermo that are more horrendous and even Chinatown in London. This is where are who they really are. Every morning they start the charcoal and get their woks ready. Something is always cooking in a wok. Food is very important to the Chinese. In fact one must die fully satiated in the stomach. When we ask someone how they are, we always ask if they've eaten. If they have, it means all is well with them. I was heartened to see all the food in the market and also to see the numerous farms just outside the city. It seemed like a place that is truly blessed. There is no shortage of hard currency either because of the tourists.
