It’s just an airplane in a parking lot across from the beach in Zhuhai. Not a working airplane, but some kind of attention getter that’s been there for at least a decade.

To answer your first question directly, I don’t know. But it’s a great observation. Whether or not people mistakenly think they are walking into a Starbucks, the billboard definitely draws eyes to the coffee house below.

Is this a boon to their business? Walk in as a tourist expecting familiar and walk out satisfied with an authentic Macanese experience?

Comment on There’s gold in them thar Macau hills! by chinaenglish

I know! Crazy, huh?
Full disclosure: This is in some no-name supermarket which somehow has gotten ahold of some TJ’s canned and packaged goods. I kinda suspect that they’re not quite legitimately supposed to be there. In fact, when I took this pic a supermarket manager shooed me away and told me not to take pictures. Don’t tell anyone I said that.

And I thought I was thrilled when Trader Joe’s made it to New England in the mid-90′s.

It’s so good to see such a red sidewalk prayer station. Just as I expected, the color of the station is red, a happy color in China.

Looking at China English every day, it’s like traveling Macau and the Mainland.

As good a read as any novel. Very fine, both the pictures and the commentary. The personality of the composer/photographer/writer builds up nicely, as does the personality of Beijing. In other words your humanity shows through in very generous ways. Thanks a lot. Keep it coming.

Also. This would make a great coffee table book. Wait! This is a coffee table book.
