Homeschool Chinese: Scavenger Hunt

We arrived early in the morning and were delighted to experience a cultural difference first hand.  In China, when people greet one another in the early morning, rather than say, "Hello, How are you?"  they instead will say, "Nǐ hǎo, Nǐ mǎile nǐ de shūcài? / 你好，你买了你的蔬菜？"   Which roughly translates to, "Have you bought your vegetables today?"  The markets were crowded with people ... we had not experienced this on other visits to Chinatown when we typically arrived in the afternoon or early evening.
