This is a picture of Old Shekou. The streets are lined with shops and people. We have found some real bargains here. They had some fake Adidas tennis shoes that looked really nice for about $5.oo. This is where we go to get our DVD's. A few of the stores have "back rooms" where they have pirated movies. The front of the stores sale electronics and when you ask for DVD's they take you back into a room and shut the door. We bought Ironman and Aladdin for 15 RMB that's about $1.50. They work so it's a good deal.
They have these outdoor fruit stands all over Shekou. You can even buy it from a guy riding a bike with a basket attached.
All over the city they have TVs on and people crowd around them. Especially now with the Olympics on. We could watch the whole thing by just walking the streets. At the mall near Walmart they had a huge TV screen on the side of the building. Kind of like something you would see in Time Square. We were there one night when China was playing basketball and there were at least 200 people just sitting on the sidewalk watching the game. That was one of those moments when we wished we had our camera.
