We explored the Houhai hutongs area today. My walk around Houhai and through the Hutongs comprised of scenic views of the area, cultural things/the way of life, bars, and touristy stores.
There were so many types of snack shops scattered through the hutongs. There was this one particular area with an army of people holding meat on a stick. Not gonna lie, it smelt delicious.

Although there were signs clearly displaying a "no fishing" rule, there were still some rebellious elder Chinese people who were. This is how they do:
1) Dip the netted cage, which should be attached to a long piece of wood (rod), in the water.
2) Swoosh the net around underwater and wait.
3) Bring the cage to the surface.
4) Empty contents into a bucket and then try again.

| Friends with their meat on a stick. |
I bought a sock monkey today. Best purchase I made in a while. After throwing random names around, I finally chose one that stuck.
Meet Abed! My sock monkey/travel buddy! Isn’t he cute?

| Kristie's best purchase of the day: bunny ears. |
Abed makes everyone happy.
