Shopping is different here. First of all, every single store sells the exact same thing. That thing being the current trend.
One day I got into a fight with an eastern European woman in the check-out line of a Levi's store. That was weird.
Another day I had to resort to just trying clothes on in the corner (fitting room line was far too long) and taking digital pictures to see how they looked on me.
Chinatown caters to American desires--brand names mainly. I searched all over for the right city purse. Finally I found exactly what I wanted, we settled on a price, since no price is set in stone there. It was a nice plain, green purse. Then the lady asked me which label I wanted. What? She had labels like "prada" and she would sew on whichever you chose. No label for me thanks. I noticed the lady who runs the laundry around the corner with the same purse as me, only hers has one of the labels on it.
