More Scenes from Harbin

Yesterday we went to the Jeans Market here and were able to find a few pair of jeans for Lightnin at unbelievably low prices! This was an entire underground, and I really mean under the ground, market. You went down this labyrinth steps from the street that felt like you were going to end up in someones basement, or a dungeon, and then it opened up to this huge shopping area!


Today we went down to the river, which of course is frozen solid, and took a gondola ride across to get a better view.



Here's one of the sculptures that are along the walk between all the shops near our hotel. I couldn't believe it when we saw the Manikin Piz.

No I'm not standing in St. Petersburg Square, but it certainly felt that way!


It's been a fun frozen trip and we head back to Beijing tomorrow, it should feel warmer there!
