Jasmine plant home delivery

Today was supposted to be a normal day... and it was for most part. We did go and signed up for the gym, found a really nice new restaurant, spent some time studying in our favourite caffe, shopped for groceries at WuMei (chinese version of WalMart) and bought lamb kebabs on the street.

While heading home late afternoon, we (me and Stephanie) saw these two guys that were carrying arround bikes with platforms filled with flowers. We were talking back and forth that a flower in the house should be good and here we see these two guys. We looked at plants for a while and liked the jasmine flower. Price went down by 40 yuan just looking and then leaving and after some 5 minutes bargaining, we got the plant down to 120.


The funniest part is still to come... since they told they can deliver it to our place, we were very happy and accepted. We found ourselves immediatelly walking down the main street with two huge bike platforms filled with plants. It is just not something you see everyday, it was definitelly a very funny view and feel for all the other Chinese people: 2 foreigners walking down the road followed by plants!


Update: once we got home, I realized we can again see blogs. BLOGSPOT has been unblocked. Thank you China!!!
