Mrs. M just back from

Mrs. M just back from Shenzen shopping spree. After all the stories it turns out to be true - you can buy plenty of everything cheap. Sounds like the shops are less obvious in showing off copies but the almighty dollar (Hong Kong or otherwise) will always overrule obligations to the Americans and the WTO to clamp down on copies. The reality is copies serve a market - if a brand is too expensive a copy is an expression of asperation and even desperation for the real thing. Even good copies are only that and on close inspection they are revealed for what they are. Besides, in a town like this one it's all about what you paid for it and where rather than what it is.

JC has gone to sleep tonight with the following for company: Barbie, Snoopy, Teddy (HK version), Dolly, Jemima and a sheep with no name. And it's not a big bed.

Time for some TV HK style, or maybe one of the 41 new DVDs.
