A Mall that was a Bomb Shelter

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use a “postaday2013″ or “postaweek2013″ tag.

Theme Day: Creative Artisan

DSCN1310

Not only is May 1st a City Daily Photo theme day, it’s also May Day a holiday in China that means massive crowds. As a dedicated CDP blogger, I summoned my patience and headed downtown to find an artisan. I had one in mind, but he’s disappeared from his usual spot. Fortunately, I happened upon this painter.

Jinan has an Ikea?

Could this be so? I wondered as I spied this sign. It’s the right colors, but everything else seemed off. I pressed on to investigate.

As much as I’d like to see an Ikea conveniently located in Jinan, it just looks too good to be true. Yes, there’s Ikea items and the prices are pretty close to what I’ve seen in their Guangzhou store, but a lot seems off. Very off.

One of the associated, who spoke English well, approached my friend and I and explained that this business helps people buy Ikea goods in Jinan. Interesting.
