Adieu

You have to be careful in this town. A moment you see something, the next it's not there anymore. One day you enter a restaurant and the next day it has been torn down. You talk with the same person over the phone in the agency xyz for 3 months, and one day you are informed she/he doesn't work there anymore.
That's life.
And that's what happened to the Liangma Antique Market. Very quiet place, with some good pieces among some dusty rubbish. I used to go there and start sneezing after a couple of steps. But it was a good spot if I didn't have the time and the strength to throw myself into Panjiayuan with the hordes of tourists. There I found  beautiful vintage alarm clocks for my friend G, who really wanted one. I got him two.
But the place is no more. Only the gate and the name are still standing. Or were. Already 24 hours have gone by. Goodbye old market. Adieu.
