buried in clouds.

iPod, not Apple
Originally uploaded by jabberer.

sony, canon, casio, nikon, fujifilm, pentax, olympus, and…. iPod!

i did hear from our local marketing people that people know iPod as

iPod, thus the brand name ‘Apple’ is almost non-existent for the

locals.

‘gong-ri’ (probably this is the korean pronunciation of her name)

shopping mall

near people’s square.

with japanese investment. lots of people waiting at the entrance of

the department store, but there are very few people inside. a little

intimidating design of the space considering other local places.

receipt lottery
Originally uploaded by jabberer.

to promote the use of receipts (and thus to prevent tax fraud)

chinese government made this system in which the receipts function as

the mini-lottery tickets. i never got any. but from what i hear people

at most won 10 yuans anyway.
