Everything China

It is widely known that everything China is cheaper. Regardless the quality, sometimes purchasing a cheaper one is our best decision. Particularly if we need that in a big number or just a little thing for short term use.

In Sydney, I found everything China shops almost on every corner of Junctions. Usually, it's called Discount Shop. It sells almost everything, from kitchen utensils, electronics, clothes baby size to adults, groceries, etc. The prices are much much cheaper than the supermarket one, even though those in the supermarket are made in China as well.

I like to call these shops "two dollar shops", because things I most buy from these shops cost two dollars. Lets recall, around UNSW... in Kingsford, there are two discount shops near roundabout (but closed since three months ago), in Randwick, there are two: tik tek and in the front of James Cook statue (intersection of belmore rd, avoca st, high st), in Maroubra, there are one near Franklin and inside Pacific square, next to post office, in Eastgardent shopping centre: Reject shop, in Kensington... there must be one... but never been there, then... the biggest one in Sydney is Paddy's market. I just knew that this market is very well known since many students (tourists) from other cities or states, come to Sydney merely to visit this market and buy everything china. Some of them have label : designed in Australia. Can you catch what this label means? Australia poor thing...
