Oh, and we have a couch...

After our long morning at the (shudder) international health clinic last Friday, and that nice long brunch to shake it off, we also spent a long afternoon with Luo Bou at a humongous furniture market getting a couch for our apartment. The term "Furniture Market" may be a bit misleading - please feel free to substitute the term "Massively huge complex of thousands of furniture stores mostly under one roof connected by myriad alleyways and passages and twice as big as the town that I grew up in" if that will help clarify your understanding.

We spent a couple of hours there looking for our perfect sofa, and of course, I took wayy too many photos of the place and posted them in the flickr set above. If you view the set all the way to the end, you'll see Jane sitting on the couch that we finally picked out. Photos and comments about the couch in its new native setting forthcoming, as soon as we get done moving furniture around...

  1. I so covet those fish tank coffee tables, but the opening photo of Mao Zedong and Ghengis Khan guarding the place carries quite a punch. Do you suppose those two had the same taste in furniture?

  2. Hey G, (Mr H-D),

    I was also going to say how much I covet those fish tank coffee tables! You'll have to bring one back for me next time you go to China! ; * )
