Misterduncan at 51 Market Baotou China - Part 1

Way back in December 2006 I made a short film showing my visit to 51 Market in Baotou, China. Here is the re-edited version, fully extended and featuring the complete scene with the Santa Claus door decoration! Part 2 will follow later.

Mister Duncan，you made a mistake, 51 means 1st May, labor day , hehe...

[duncaninchina]

Yes, I'm aware of the meaning. The locals call it 51 Market. There is also an 81 Park.

16 yuan for two pieces of santa claus, it's a little bit expensive. I think you should learn some bargain skills in China. good luck next time.

Thank you for your comment. I was aware that the price was high, but I was not going to fuss over a few Yuan. You should have seen me when I was buying furniture for my apartment. I spent a whole afternoon bartering with shopkeepers over the prices...It was actually great fun! (Misterduncan)

Hi Mr Duncan

You are great as usual

Hi Mr.Duncan, the "dry sweet tomatos" which Zhang Wei showed you in your episode of "51 market Baotou China. Part 1" were actually dry persimmons I think. The dry persimmons are very popular in China. I like your style of teaching English. I am watching your English Lessons in the other side of the world--New Zealand. Thanks very much for your videos.

the only thing you interested in is Chrismas decorating.

And you are good at Chinese

oh, that is not dried tomato, that is dried persimmon.

There is no information in wikipedia. But is tasted like honeyed sunshine

81 is 1st August, the foundation day of People's Liberation Army

BTW, thanks a lot, I have learnt so much from your lessons.

The price of furniture is always expensive in China！i think it's good for lacking of wood！
