A Chinese electronics component market is a sight to behold. Hundreds of small vendors in booths no larger than they can reach from one spot, the vendors specialize in one area of electronics and have their wares carefully arranged under a glass counter. The market is peacefully quiet, compared to the normal electronics market (computers, cameras, etc.). Unfortunately, it's very difficult to find what you want and comparison shop. The stores are, more or less, specialized but they are distributed throughout the three floors of the market, and they all look the same.

On the way home (we rode our bikes), it started to rain. Today was the hardest rain of the trip so far, and it kept on going. To avoid having to ride our bikes to the dining hall for dinner, we ordered delivery KFC. We gave a generous tip to the poor soul working delivery...

	Blim doing some soldering.
	The finished battery chargers.
	The electronics market is clearly Chinese. Many small stalls selling a limited selection of parts. Compared to Mouser, with millions of unique components, these stalls make it very difficult to find what you want.
	Isaac and Blim, soaked to the skin in just a few moments.
	The rain was very heavy, and for once the sky was overcast with water droplets instead of smog. (David, Blim, and Isaac).
