Shopping for souvenirs in Jinan, good weather again and a free day to end the month with.
This Sunday we went to the city center of Jinan to go shopping for some souvenirs. I am not going home soon, but Roman and Victoria are so they wanted to buy some Chinese goodies. Unfortunately for them they didn't really find anything they were looking for.
We went to this huge kind of shopping center with hundreds of small shops where they sell a lot of stuff that nobody needs but still buys. It was a bit like offline online shopping. Of bags they had hundreds of the same type but just in different colors, the same goes for socks, hats, wallets, shoes, scarfs, hats and so on. But there was nothing interesting that Roman, Victoria or I wanted to buy. So then we just went for lunch.
Because none of us has even been to Walmart in any country we decided to go to Walmart here in China. In Jinan is one but it was a bit disappointing. They are advertising that they have western food too, coming from Europe or America, but all they had were Chinese products with a flag of Denmark, America, Sweden, France or so on them. Every single word, or actually character, was in Chinese so it definitely doesn't come from the west.
Luckily the weather was good that day, just like on the photo that was taken on Monday at the university. On Wednesday I got a free day, so that was really nice. And the day got even better when Alina told me that she had booked her flight to China for in February. So she will come to China for 10 days during the vacation. I'm already looking forward to that!
