In our "compound", or subdivision as we'd call it back home, we have a rather unique complex. Can you tell me what is interesting about all these shops?
(No fair giving the answer away if you live here!)
Dozens and dozens of shops!
And check out that "Burger King"…
Ooooo!!! And I *heart* Costa Coffee!
So…have you figured it out????
All the shops are EMPTY!!!
That's right. They put the signs up for whatever reason. To make it attractive to a potential buyer? Make expats moving into the compound believe there is a shopping center right near their home? Who knows!!!?!
And this isn't at all unusual for China! Ah China….such a strange place!
