When a place wasn't intended for any development, everything seemed to have been suspended in time. Saw some classic Chinese herb without too much chemical preservatives. A travel agent in the old days for checking various travel needs. A grocery selling some old time preserved food and goodies. A tea room for our social gathering and slowly enjoying dim sum and tea, and the nostalgic 七星伴月月餅 (seven salty egg yolks in a big moon cake) (*note not the adapted version of the 7 mini moon cakes around 1 big one). Paper and transparent lanterns.... No electronic toys at all. Even the local Chinese people are having their heart warming smiles and happy helping for your travel directions. Not a smiley face on the screen with some sacrastic messages. I do hear people "laughing out loud". I do see people "thanks with a true smile". I see my mother, my father, my grand ma and my aunts and uncle....

You are so very right.
I also see myself, my brother, my parents and my childhood friends here.
Thank you for sharing me all these "back to the future" that I really missed.
Those were the days my friend.
