Beijing Diary Pt 2: 天津 October 7, 2012 by vanessalow Category: Eat, Food, Travel East meets West On our second day in China we visited the city of Tianjin! Mini apples! They taste exactly like normal apples except they are as small as cherries! (Also pictured, breakfast: bottled water, bao, watermelon) Cycling is a main mode of transport – there is always a bike in sight! The three-wheeled taxis(?) were so eye catching – hope I get a chance to ride in one in the future! Chopsticks anyone? Shopping time At the store that sold the delicious dried cuttlefish Dried fish(?) Hey there! Kylie can walk now! Street market Yay, Kylie! Yabbies: before Yabbies: after At the Silk Factory – silk worms at different stages The silkworm cocoons are soaked and the stretched out in layers The silkworms are removed from their cocoons The layers are then stretched out – lots of layers makes a quilt Bargaining time – “best best price” is exchanged via calculator Kylie enjoying all the silk products!
