Shanghai's Antique Market. This place is in a word 'amazing', it has some really cool stuff on sale, but you will have to haggle like a bitch as the stall owners are ALL out to rip you off. Unlike the Bird Market where no one hassled us and we were free to look and explore with out being approached, nearly every stall we passed and stopped to look at had someone wanting us to come inside so they could convince us to buy something. It's all part of the experience though. 
Above: By the way if anyone is wondering what to get me for christmas look no further! I love these old fashioned gramophones, but it would be even more amazing if it actually works! If I had come across an old fashioned Zoetrope while exploring this market I think I would have died and gone straight to animator heaven!
