I’ve just arrived in this vibrant city filled with as much old as there is new. An ancient form of Chinese poker as a past time has turned into souvenirs for foreigners to bring home and a way for contemporary lifestyle stores like GOD to continue to create novel products by transforming and reinventing an old tradition to seamlessly fit in today’s contemporary lifestyle.
