although it is quickly becoming more and more expensive to live in china, there are some things that are still so cheap that i do a double-take every time i hear the price.  take for instance this bunch of flowers that elissa is holding.  these 3 dozen roses put a real dent in my wallet at a whopping 8 yuan! (that's a buck twenty-five for those of you without a currency converter handy.) at that price every man can be a hero!  Anyway, in case you're interested, here's some other notable cheap stuff...
big dinner for 2 with plenty of leftovers - 4 dollars
one hour hair wash, head massage and haircut - 2 bucks
new pair of kicks - 5 big ones
16oz Coke - 35 cents
cab ride across town - 2 big d's

Last month (July) I found a guy selling roses for two yuan per bunch of 20. So I got 20 red, 20 pink and 20 yellow for Patty. That almost set me back a whole dollar!
