One funny story I have is that my good friend Arie and her sister want Converse shoes. You can get them cheap! There's a website here called Taobao and you literally can find anything! I was going to get them off of there but decided to try the pearl market first.
I made it to the 3rd level with all the shoes. I kept seeing shoes that looked like Converse, but were ugly knockoff brands. I made it to one stand and picked up a pair to see if they were real or not. They lady told me that they were the real deal and I was like, "uhhh nope!" I told her I wanted real Converse All-Star. She told me she had them. Clearly I didn't believe her and started walking away. She grabbed my arm and stopped me. Whipped this paper out of nowhere with real Converse on it.
I said what style and sizes I needed then she called her friend. After about 10 minutes some lady pops out of nowhere and has the 4 red pairs of shoes I asked for. I was stunned! The lady originally told me the price would be 1,200 Yuan which is $200 in the U.S. Heck no I'm not paying that much!! I might as well buy them at home. After going back and forth for a while I got them down to 400 Yuan. $65 for 4 pairs of Conver All-Stars. Usually you can get one pair for that price! I am so good at bargaining.
I started walking away and was next to the booth next to hers when I stopped to double check the sizes and everything. Good thing Arie and I have the same shoe size so I tried on her shoes. People in China keep popping out of nowhere I swear. These two men come walking up to me and ask where I purchased the shoes. Uh oh!!! I acted like I had no idea but he kept asking me. I thought he was gonna do something to me so I told him which booth. I ran out of that area so fast!! I probably got that lady fired.. Oops.
I did get my shoes though so I was happy:) haha I am such a terrible person.
loves.
