The school's Open Day was held last Saturday. I worked from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening. So I think I deserved the day off yesterday. It was also my brother-in-law's holiday as well. So we joined my parents, two sisters and my nephew to
Shenzhen.
First we went to a place where there was a big stationary centre. It was a wholesale as well as a retail market. The stationary was very cheap there and I bought quite a lot of high light pens, correction tapes and shuttle cocks as presents for my students. I have bought a magnetic dartboard for my husband. It was my favourite. We can play a game of dart at home now :-) It reminds me of the old days.
In the evening, we went to an area where the whole road was full of I.T. shops. We also went to a big department store. Inside, there were lots of very expensive clothing. I did not know how much an individual earns in a month in
Shenzhen. I just couldn't imagine how they could afford to buy the trendy fashion. What
surprised me was that many people were spending lots of money there. My brother-in-law said lots of people in
Shenzhen were involved in the stock market. Maybe that could explain the astounding
phenomemon there.
