Silk market
August 16, 2008 | 3:41 PMJessica Cosby
Today I did get out for a little bit. My roommate and I went to the silk market and did a little shopping for a few hours. It was pretty fun. The market is a building that is the same as an indoor swap meet except here you negotiate prices. I bought a few things and I will probably go back sometime at the end of my trip.Tomorrow is my qualifying round and I am excited. Training has been good and I feel prepared. I don't really know what else to say at this point because for the most part my time is spent hanging out in my room or the lounge area watching the events on tv.
