A new pinnacle of creativity in Chinese brand-naming

Having half an hour or so to kill before a meeting this morning, I went for an exploratory wander around one of the city's new malls (the six-storey white elephant that materialised on top of the Xizhimen subway station a few months back).

And I found a swish little boutique called....... Wanko.


It specialises in wipe-clean clothing, I would imagine. (Could be another advertising opportunity for Ms Lewinsky? Does anyone have contact details for her agent?)

Do they have carrier bags? They'd sell for a fortune on ebay.

Do you have photos?

What? You don't believe me, Lunch?


I didn't have a camera on me. I suppose I could go back.

I bet they do have carrier bags, but obtaining some would presumably require making other purchases. I may investigate next time I'm over in that part of town.
