New Shoes!

Today I set out to locate the elusive shop which I remembered entering the first time I was in Dongmen, but could not find the second time I was in the area. I remembered that it sold shoes at discounted prices, and since it was time I bought a new pair, I had to have a second look at this place before I was willing to consider other options. After practically walking through the entire shopping district I finally found it, surprisingly at the junction of two major streets. I guess I had been looking for it at an obscure location rather than a prominent one.

The shop is called Z.M.N., with a woodpecker logo. Apparently it has a website, but it seems to have been shut down. There were indeed shoes selling for 99 RMB (~S$20), but the designs and sizes were very limited, and I could not find a satisfactory pair. However, now that I had finally found the shop, I was ready to buy a pair elsewhere.

Of course I could have spent more to get a suitable pair of shoes at Z.M.N., but I had walked past many shops selling shoes at 99 RMB that I decided to set myself that budget. And so the search began… but it wasn’t long before I found a satisfactory pair of 99 RMB shoes!
