Fight

We went to the Yashow market in Sanlitun for some good shopping for fake goods. While we were looking at baseball caps we saw a good fight. Like everywhere else in the world, a good fight in China draws a lot of attention. I suppose the main difference is that even small arguments draw a decent amount of attention and staring openly is fairly common. In any case we were looking at caps when suddenly we hear shouting a few stalls down. Two men are being restrained by people around them. It looks like the thing is just going to die down as one man is being pulled away. I didn't understand what he said but the other man broke free and punched him a good one in the face! Then the two began to wrestle and the tear away pants of one tore away and he was left with his underwear showing pinned to the wall. It was hilarious! So they fought for a while until other people pulled them apart. The woman of the cap stall said they were fighting because they bumped into each other while shopping. If you fight everytime someone bumps into you in China....
