August 4: Today, we spent over five hours on Ancient Culture Street. It is full of shops and other interesting kiosks of items. I found it particularly interesting the number of shops selling memorabilia from the Mao era. We have found many things of a propaganda-type leaning, but there are actual shops that sold the little red books, shoulder insignias of the Red Guards, and other such items. It was just a leisurely day, and way too much money was spent :-).
