Early this afternoon in Shaoguan, Guangdong, I saw a person offering fortune telling and related services.
This evening almost exactly seven hours later, I saw a person selling mobile phone covers and other assorted accessories for electronics.
Both of them made use of the same corner on a landing of a pedestrian bridge staircase — just at different times. In addition to raising a number of intriguing issues, the variety of offerings available at this single location today captures some of the spirit of what I have observed elsewhere in Shaoguan this weekend.
So my own prediction for the future: I will just say don't be surprised if things as different as bamboo rats, xiangqi, marketing for pole dancing lessons, and Little Red Books all appear here soon.
