Shoe Tuesday- Watchbag
<cue Shoe Tuesday music>
Last night I was on a stroll down Nanjing Dong Lu- China’s Number 1 Shopping Street (TM).
Except it wasn’t a stroll, it was a gauntlet run through the hawkers, gawkers and stalkers that are constantly trying to sell you fake tat on that street.
Watchbag! Watchbag! Looka! Looka!
They bleat. It’s annoying because as soon as you fend one of them off (tip: carry a can of hairspray and a cigarette lighter) the next one is on your back. Did you not just see my tell your buddy to do one? Have I really changed my mind since 3 steps up the road?
It wouldn’t be so bad if they changed up the pitch from “Watchbag” to, oh I don’t know…. Shoebag!
Shoebag!
(Just pulled it back from the brink at the end there didn’t I?)
