I hate how much this guy looks like Chinese George W. Bush
(He's a conservative so I don't feel bad making the comparison)
This store opens only NINE HOURS a week! AND they have unexpected closures!
What a power move, they know Gundam Figure fans are like drug addicts
Oh my god the Gundam Store that only opens 9 hours a week is actually open! (see: https://urusai.social/@ami_angelwings/115924250868100659)
But also when it's closed the open sign is lit up but when it's open the open sign is unlit, like they're only grudgingly open.
Update: The store is still open after the hours it said it would close. This store challenges your capitalist assumptions.
For when you want your skin to be especially white
(I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm trying to erase it)
I swear no stores in this mall know how an open/closed sign works, they always say open when closed and closed when open. I feel like it's a vaudeville skit thing where because they're inside the store when closing and reading the sign, it says "closed" to them.
That or it's to keep out shoplifters like Zhang Fei sleeping with his eyes open to deter assassins.
@ami_angelwings I'm kinda loving some of the modern art of 财神 tbh. I feel it only took off last few years and I really appreciate how they used lots of traditional aesthetics on top of making them different.
I should go for a walk but also we are in middle of a heat wave so I will die
@zhinxy the rent in these glass cubicles in Chinese malls here is only $500-600CAD a month and I've been trying to figure out what my friends could do with one so we can open a business and they can immigrate
Like you can cram a LOT in there
@ami_angelwings I had something like that in town, though it’s moved on. I only managed to ONCE find it open for business, and could buy a thing from it. (SoyXFamily lenticular poster.)
It was chock a block with “normie stuff” but uncaringly laid-out and uncaringly run. One of the only times I’ve ever been, like…. “is this a front for drug smugglers or something?”😝
