Finding cigars
By INTIANJIN | 7/2/2004 1:22:29 AM

Finding cigars in Tianjin is worthy of a Stephen King novel. There are tobacco shops called Tobacco World and they are spread out around the city. One I commonly go to is located between Alibaba's and the Nankai University. Its situated on a corner opposite the university campus. They don't all have the same stock but amongst their 50 cigarette brands and 20 cigar brands they generally have Camel, Kent, Marlboro and Cafe Creme and Captain black cigarellos.

Heping Market closed

The Heping Market which sells western brand goods has closed down. Its still advertised on some websites as being open and has a map giving direction. Chances are you wouldn't find the old building from the map anyways :D

Shopping buildings

Some large shopping plazas have prices on par with the west (600RMB for jeans, 800RMB for shoes). You can find cool high quality clothing/shoes of the same styles by just going to a different plaza. In the open markets the clothes are very cheap but prices aren't set. I purchased a fake Gucci watch for 84RMB yesterday. The man wanted 105RMB. My friend said I paid too much and 60RMB would have been adequate.
I purchased cool shoes for 55RMB in a plaza TaoTao Shoe store. I purchased Pepsi jeans for 125RMB in a Pepsi store.
