Shopping in Chinese
The Chinese never feel they've made a good purchase unless they've haggled over the price first! And they drive a hard bargain too. Whether you make a purchase at a street stall or a department store, everything is up for negotiation.
In this clip, we also visit a cloisonnΓ© factory to see how the ancient art of making enamel pots is still going strong. This clip covers asking how much things are, some examples of prices, useful phrases for bargaining and the colours red, blue and yellow.
