Finally, some business - part 2
Corbett | June 11, 2007 9:36 PM
The pink light place downstairs just wasn't getting any business, and as I predicted, it finally closed, as did the hastily put together "white aluminum window frame store" immediately next to it, of which there are at least seven of nearby my office. I'm curious where the demand is for white window frame material to justify seven shop within 100 meters. They must've wondered that too, as they sat there every day for hours with out one single white aluminum window frame buying customer.
But interestingly enough there is now a tattoo store in it's place with photographs of their art plastered all over the window. A major step up in the signage department, but I wonder how many people will wander down the small alley, around the corner from the doorknob store, across the way from the wedding photo place, behing the tea shop, and a stone's throw from the public toilet/weekend KTV barf center and say "Hey, cool, just what I needed. A full back sized tattoo of a flying dragon!"

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
