Tissues

When traveling in China, you should always carry around tissues. Why? Because 8 times out of 10 wherever you are going won’t have toilet paper. I know, ew. But such is life. They sell packs in pretty much every store, so never to fear if you forget yours at home!

Seasonal Snacks

On the streets you can find vendors selling everything from tissues (see above!) to yoghurt to socks. My favorite things to find them selling so far, however, are the seasonal snacks. When I arrived in the summer months, they were selling cooked corn, and ear for 2 yuan (about 30 cents). Now in the autumn, it is cooked sweet potato, anywhere from 2-10 yuan, depending on the size of the tater. Pretty awesome. Can’t wait to see what the other seasons bring!
