The DVD store - Part 2

Now hopefully you have read my antics below at the first DVD store and thought "that sounds kinda crazy!" But recently I went to another kinda crazy DVD place that really made me realise that I am living in China now :) This guy at work (Peter) took me to this DVD place that is on the top floor of this department store type place. We get to the floor and it is basically full of these small kiosk-stall type places that sell DVD's and CD's. So I am shown a couple of boxes of DVD's and start rummaging through; now the thing that is different about this place is all the DVD's they have are 100% ligit DVD's from Europe, and they are still only 5 RMB a pop (maybe 40p or something like that). So they are not like the (still very good)Chinese copies that I bought in the other place. Anyway, I am looking through the boxes on the stall and I am thinking well actually this isn't looking too hot as they only had maybe 4 or 5 boxes. But all this changes when Peter talks to the guys there and they tell us to go with them to anoher floor. Well basically we end up sat outside this tiny stockroom, sat on small stalls; we sit there for about one hour as the guy passes out box after box after box of DVD's for us to look through. After that hour is up I have a pile of DVD's as high as....well.... lets just say I had a lot! I bought full seasons of friends, Futurama, The Simpsons, classic films such as Rambo, Back to the future & even the first full season of Knight Rider!! And all on original disks in proper DVD cases. Yet another pure China experience, and i'm loving it :)
