I haven’t been to Shanghai for four years but last week I had the opportunity to fly up again. While walking on the streets in the French concession I came across something appalling. Revolting…

The longer I live in Hong Kong the more I realise what a strange place it is. People in Hong Kong adore brands and everything that claims to be Italian or French and are willing to spend shitloads of money on those products.
