			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today me and two friends went shopping at a Chinese furniture market. A &#8220;market&#8221; is a huge building with all kinds of different vendors. It&#8217;s kind of like an indoor flea market.<br />
<a href="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/chinesefurnituremarket.jpg" rel="lightbox[232]"><img src="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/chinesefurnituremarket-560x420.jpg" alt="chinese furniture market" title="Chinese Furniture Market" width="560" height="420" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-239" /></a><br />
If you want to know why there is a plane parked in the front of the market, I&#8217;m sorry, but I can&#8217;t answer that. Like most things in China, the <em>why</em> seems more or less irrelevant. There&#8217;s a plane in front of the furniture market. Period. You don&#8217;t need a back-story. </p>
<p>Inside the furniture market looks like this:<br />
<a href="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bathrooms.jpg" rel="lightbox[232]"><img src="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bathrooms-560x420.jpg" alt="bathroom stuff" title="Bathroom Stuff" width="560" height="420" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-238" /></a><br />
Room after room just packed to the walls with whatever you might need. They even have the kitchen sink (har har okay I&#8217;ll stop).</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in a shower that can also travel through time, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.<br />
<a href="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/timemachineshower.jpg" rel="lightbox[232]"><img src="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/timemachineshower.jpg" alt="time machine shower" title="Time Machine Shower" width="528" height="704" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-241" /></a><br />
If you&#8217;re not so into the luxury of using space technology to shower, don&#8217;t worry, they have alternatives.<br />
<a href="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/woodbath.jpg" rel="lightbox[232]"><img src="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/woodbath-560x420.jpg" alt="wooden bath tub" title="Wooden Bath Tub" width="560" height="420" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-242" /></a><br />
Who is using these things? My theory is that someone used the time travel shower to bring these things back from around 400 A.D. But what do I know? I&#8217;m just a guy who takes pictures of bathtubs.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t really related to furniture but one of the vendors had it on her desk for good luck. It&#8217;s pretty ridiculous.<br />
<a href="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/luckygoldenfrog.jpg" rel="lightbox[232]"><img src="http://www.chinarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/luckygoldenfrog-560x420.jpg" alt="golden frog" title="Lucky Golden Frog" width="560" height="420" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-240" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s a golden frog surrounded by a bunch of coins. I&#8217;m assuming all of this nonsense is used to increase luck. With a high enough luck rating the vendor will receive +3 to their Ripping Off Foreigners skill.</p>
