If you want to live large, you’ll love China.

Like Luoiswan Shopping Center (pronounced lo-swan) . It is
roughly the size of Rhode Island. 
Actually, it’s the biggest shopping center in Asia, with space for
23,000 shops.

Trust me, that internet factoid is correct.

I took a big red bus to get there, one of the accordion
styles with two entrances. When I got off, there was a big celebration going
on.
A road of firecrackers was placed around the entire complex, looking like a red
version of the brick one in Oz.

The combustible snap crackled and popped my entire visit,
roughly two hours.

A crew of fireman followed the spectacle. I shot a little
film but my 4G chip ran out of space.

So if you want the full effect, just play this clip three
thousand and forty seven times.

Other things that are big in China are living complexes. You
will never get the full effect by a jpeg on your cell phone. My friend dodo
lives in Century City, an apartment complex with one thousand domino like buildings,
housing close to a quarter of a million people.

Yes, two hundred and fifty thousand.

I pity the small child who gets lots in there.like this one,
who thinks sun roofs are for standing.

Also, Chinese have no problems moving big things on little
guys.
