Tianjin Road Trip

I took Cameron to school and met the other girls.  Stine, Trine, Heidi, Anna, Cecilia, Ileana, and I were going on a road trip to Tianjin to check out the fabric market.  We loaded up my van and Stine's and headed out.  We got to the market and went inside.  There was only a few places open.  We finally found someone to tell us they open at 10:00.  It was 9:15.  We found our drivers and had them take us to a Starbucks.  All the other girls needed coffee.

Waiting for our vans.

We drove past one Starbucks but it must not have been the right one.  We continued driving until we found another one.  Once inside we all got a drink and a treat.  I was the only one drinking water in a coffee shop.  We hung out there until 10:15 then headed back to the market.

The bathroom by Starbucks.

Back inside and now everything was open.  There were so many fabrics shoved into little spaces.  Two floors full.  But every so often there would be a booth with dishes or hair accessories.  Kind of funny.  The other girls all got fabric except Cecilia, Ileana, and I.  We went just for something to do. 

So much fabric.

We left the market at 12:00 and went to lunch.  It was a Spanish restaurant.  I had croquettes and Tapas.  It was very tasty.  Definitely a place I will need to take Todd and Cameron.  Also the section that the restaurant is in looked cool so I want to go back to explore that area.
