fangzi, chezi, piaozi no more!


Real Doll comes to China sort of.

Heh...

Maybe it'll stop the fangzi, chezi, piaozi gold digging which is freaking rampant these days... though tbh Made in the USA is perhaps a better choice ;)

Sorry for the lack of updates btw, I've gone and started yet another business of my own and running all of them is severely energy draining. Which has a nice side effect of making me money, but has the unfortunate side effect of some women looking at me like a meal ticket. Yeesh.

Gems of Chinatown: Pearl River Market


Its not often I have the chance to go into Manhattan. But when I do I always make sure to stop by Chinatown. One of my favorite places to visit is the Pearl River Market.


Their story, from their website:



Everything from lanterns to clothing to furniture to lighting to musical instruments to wedding dresses, you can find all of it in this tiny, two story department store in the middle of the Big Apple. All of what they sell is handmade and authentic, the kind of goods China was known for prior to the Opium Wars, not the Chromium tainted plastic crap we know them for today.


Needless to say, I have bought many things there. Even if you don’t intend to buy anything, its a wonderful place to look around.


The Store is located at:


477 Broadway, New York, NY


If you don’t live in the New York metro area, you can shop online and they will ship anywhere in the world.
