Street markets are very common here. At any location throughout the city, you can find someone selling items out on the sidewalk. Most of the time, these are against the law and occasionally, the police go through the area and everyone scatters.
However, this particular market is a local night market. Not only do random sellers come out, but many of the local shops bring goods out as well. They usually start setting up around 6:00ish when the actual shops themselves close for the day.
I don't usually take photos of "Chinglish" but sometimes, I just can't resist. I literally did "snap and run" photos this day . . . clicked and walked on. One lady did catch up with me and asked why I was taking photos. I told her that I was an English teacher and that I was taking pictures to show my students what "works" on a tee shirt.
The last one is quite amusing to me. I don't understand why this shirt even exists, but it humored me.

Very interesting shirt for "Mickey Mouse"! Mickey, the image of happiness with the language of sorrow. And expressed with a form of poetry, a hybrid of sorts between a Haiku and a Cinquain. Where else but in a Chinese street market! I like it.
