So, yes, still feeling energitic, so posting another market experience today!
We have been going to this same market for the 3+ years we've lived here, and I've posted pictures of this market before, but as with all markets, the vendors change and so does the merchandise, so I thought it was time to put some new pictures up!
This is a type of flea market..it goes on the weekend and is really crowded, but it also gos on during the week. It has all types of things..new, old, new to make look old. There are alot of wood, seeds, rocks, whatever someone could polish, carve or string to make into jewelry it's here somewhere.
Here are a few pictures of our favorite shenyang flea market!

 |
| Furniture at the market! |
 |
| Fighting crickets in little cages, chirping up a storm! |
 |
| these are some huge crickets!..bigger than most grasshoppes I've ever seen! |
 |
| Get your see bracelets here! They are looking for ones with closely matched patterns in the seeds |
 |
| Its walnut time..they pick them, hull them, clean them, all in hopes of getting some that are very similar with the shell pattern, then they will sell them as a pair and the men keep them in their pocket and rub them together...the more worn the walnuts are the more valuable they are! |
 |
| Some pantaloons from India...something for everyone! |
 |
| Turquoise beads for your bracelet or necklace! |
 |
| More bracelets and beads.. |
There are many more types of things for sale here at this market...all interesting in some form or another!
Just another day in Shenyang!
Have a great day ya'll!
