Wanted to let you know I was in this store today (Yan Ye) and the address listed is incorrect. Instead of 839 it should be 893. Just thought you’d like to know. BTW we loved it and ordered boots there. Jennifer

By the way, I learned today they also give lessons to people to develop their own film in dark rooms.
They also started organizing cameras sells every Sunday (discussing about cameras and possibly sell or buy).

‘will share on your map for buildings, I guess. I’m kinda of into “one week-end = one building”.

Well, if anyone’s interested with photo, you can add this location to your map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=114679261271792037726.000469a4aa1d7405a5285&ll=31.225647,121.451111&spn=0.037799,0.074673&z=14

It’s a small shop that just opened recently, and people their are really nice and professional.
If you’re into Lomo somehow, you can also check there for cameras or films, etc.

Hey Tsienwei,

yes, they should, you know you can buy a map for like 10 Yuan in a Fuzhou Rd Bookstore specializing in Historical Books?
I’ll try to get an address and blog it. It’s a reprint of a 1931 Map in English and Chinese.
