Book Store

One of you suggested that I feature a book store visit, so this is Book City, the major book store here in Qingdao.  It's on a nice green corner at a major intersection in the center of town.  That temporary, inflatable arch is a common attention-getter.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when the first table past the entrance featured Harry Potter.  That's in Chinese on the left and in English on the right.

And here's the store directory in the lobby. As you see, there are six floors to the store: a basement floor (designated as -1F) and five floors above ground.

(I have noticed  a lack of consensus on how to designate a basement.  The elevator in my building, for example, has a B1 and a B2.  But, what I find even more interesting, is that the F obviously stands for Floor in English and the B stands for Basement in English.)
