the book store is located on the second floor, only a small portion of the entire building. Entering its door is like entering a door to the past. The lukewarm staff gave me a set of key and lock and asked me to lock my bag in the lockers at the entrance. The staff were chatting with each other or reading local newspapers while sipping tea in tall jam jar, a typical scene I could find in state-owned stores before 1990. The décor and the way the store organizes the books and magazines also have a late 1980 touch. I feel for many titles, I can find a better price on Taobao. The visit is more like time travel than a book shopping.
