Chinatown

You want Chanel?

You want Louis Vuitton?

Yes 

To hidden doors

Turning walls and deadbolts

Black painted steel grates

Leading to four flights of dilapidated stairs

Are we there yet?

Locked in rooms lined with purses

As Chinese women check their watches

Cell phones doubling as walkie talkies

Walkie talkies doubling as cell phones

'They Look Fake'

'This is real leather straight from Factory.'

Money exchanged... No, money hustled

Things I learned:  

Asian women TERRIFY me.  

Things I got:

a pair of sunglasses, and an experience I will never forget.
