"Black Shop"

The 黑店 or "Black Shop" in Kung Fu Martial Art Chinese Novels (武侠小说) are synonym with shop owners that cheat customer's $$$$ :D

And I came across this "黑店/Black Shop" some time ago. What a name! This photo was sometime back, in December 2006. Somewhere in Georgetown, Penang on Sunday morning (hence the shop was closed). Now I cannot remember the exact location of the shop liao... I wonder what the shop sells... :P

Can I add a word?

meimei, the original Black shop not only rob you of your money

They will have drugs into your tea / liquor

Once you lost consciousness, you are pretty unlikely to see another sunrise

Doreen said...

The black shop in 武侠小说 not only cheat ppl's money but also kill people's meat to make buns. Eeee.....
