Shopping around flea markets does not require any particular physical strength, but a sharp eye for the unique and skills in hard bargaining are certainly a big bonus. These markets contain stacks of items and if you"re lucky, you can find items such as reading lamps reminiscent of extravagant British aristocrats, fashion hats full of French romanticism, Italian handicrafts or props used by the original protagonist of a Hollywood movie. There are always many unique articles to get your hands on. But what is most important is the exciting experience and satisfaction obtained from hunting them out.
逛跳蚤市场不光需要超人的体力、锐利的眼光、独特的品味，“心狠手辣”的杀价本事也是淘宝人的看家本领。从层层叠叠的货摊上挑出一盏表现英国贵族奢华时光的台灯，一顶充满法国浪漫情怀的时装帽，一件意大利手工艺术品，或是好莱坞电影里主人公用过的道具……对淘宝者来说，此时拥有的不仅是独一无二的物品，更拥有了背后令人心动的故事以及发掘过程的满足。

127 Corridor127走廊市场
127 Corridor is unique. Beginning on a highway in Jamestown, Tennessee, this flea market stretches hundreds of miles through Kentucky and continues its way to Alabama. Don"t be surprised to see everything from farm machinery to home-made food and cartoon books all there for sale. Over 2,000 vendors come here every July, and caravans carrying goods for sale are everywhere. The market generally lasts 3 weeks. In addition, rocking horses are specially provided for children to play on, and Mexican street bands and singers loved by young people give on-site performances, all adding to the atmosphere. The charm lies not only in spotting hidden treasures or bargains, but in the unusual shopping atmosphere and the idyllic scenery of the US.
127走廊市场是个非常与众不同的地方。它的起点在田纳西州詹姆斯敦的一条高速公路上，绵延几百英里，跨过田纳西州进入肯塔基州，并一直延伸到阿拉巴马州。如果您见到农用机械、自制的食物、工艺品和漫画书一起出售也不必觉得奇怪。每年七月都有2000多名小贩加入这场“巡游”，到处都是载着人和待售货物的大篷车。一般这个景象会持续三周。另外这里还有专为儿童准备的木马游艺，以及年轻人喜爱的墨西哥街头乐队和歌手现场演奏，这为市场增添了许多欢乐气氛。逛127走廊的乐趣不仅在于发现隐藏的珍宝或淘到物美价廉的商品，还在于体验这里不同寻常的购物氛围以及欣赏优美如画的美国田园风光。
Tips:
1．约上朋友，开辆二手的美国大车，伴着喇叭里播放的五六十年代流行的甲壳虫乐队的歌曲逛“127”才是真正“country style”的美国生活！
2．美国特色的食品和小吃一定要试试看！
