In taking the busy time of this big department store in Paris, I finally discreetly took a few photos of the classic design. My local friend told me the local media reported that right now the no. 1 most spending power tourist is from China, second is Russia. Besides, she got some friends working in Lafayette that the mainland Chinese tourists exchange tons of Chinese dollars into Euros and spending even much crazier than Japanese. We used to say the Japanese tourists point at the items like "ticking dim dum". However, the Chinese tourists simply put a thick stack of dollar notes and asked the sales "give me whatever you have in the store.". So when I was noticed of speaking Cantonese, I was like a V.V.I.P. in the Store, and greeted with many "Ni Hou Ma!". Money drives this realistic World.

Yes Chinese are No 1 consumer in LA and Vegas too.
When we went to Vegas all "Ah Chant" speaking Mandarin around us.
They usually spend money crazy and fast and stupid like "water fish" as those are easy money.
We need more Ah Chang to promote the economy.
If it's not China's growing consumers' power, the whole world Economy wouldn't be recovering in that fast pace and China's economy was recorded a growth despite the economy setback from the Lehman's triggering point.
Yes thanks to China's amazingly strong purchase power to help the economy, especially the US'.
