Nanking-machi 2

Like children in a sweet shop, we marvel at the hundreds of different mobile phone pendants hanging from thin cardboard walls, lots of them Chinese traditional style motifs such as Yin Yang signs, lucky golden pigs, waving cats, and the animals of the Chinese horoscope; many of them less traditional: cartoon versions of Bruce Lee, Dragon Ball, and Hello Kitty figurines. There are calligraphy writing tools, Chinese shoes and dresses, nun-chakus, and the original outfits Bruce Lee wore in several different films. The latter are to be found in a whole big shop exclusively dedicated to Bruce, the Master. A life-size statue of the Hero himself with his sinewy chest and chiselled arms greets us at the entrance. In this shop, I find a comfortable black kung fu suit for a very decent price. Fancy dress exercises can have truly transforming powers. Besides, they are fun.
