Last night, I dreamed that I was wandering the streets of China with Susan and someone else, possibly Lynn. We were looking for somewhere to eat. We found a place that was ostensibly a restaurant, but when we got inside, we found that it was set up like a restaurant, but instead had shelves of knick-knacky yard sale type crap at the back. You were supposed to peruse the shelves and take whatever you wanted, but once the waitress came in, then you would have to sit down and eat and you would not be able to pick up any new items or put back any of the ones you'd already taken. The three of us went to the shelves and didn't see anything we wanted, but then I looked closer and realized that some of the things were very valuable and desirable. I pointed this out to them and soon we were all digging through crap and finding treasure.
For some reason, I left them there and went back outside to wander the streets some more. I was nervous about leaving Susan behind because she spoke Chinese and I didn't (and don't in real life, either), but I did it anyway. Outside was a highway lined with gas stations/markets. One of them was called Ganjin.
I ended up finding a pastry store and going in and buying a really big, fatty, delicious confection. I walked back to the restaurant as I stuffed my face with it, and felt vaguely that I should finish eating before I went in to find Susan and Lynn again, but didn't. They had finished their meal by then and teased me about eating pastry. No one in the restaurant minded that I was eating food from another store as I was afraid that they would be.
