    OK, noticed a few unusual numerous shop names around town:

    Sweet Blood (seems to be clothing store)

    Mister Prawn’s Holy Noodles

    Nickelback (named after that Canadian rock abomination)

    Legend Of Fish (seafood restaurant)

    Metallica (clothing store in YanshiKou)

    And my favorite: A Little Flavour (chain of “western” restaurants). No false advertising here; the food does indeed have “little flavor”.

    My favourite is in Kunming. It’s a small clothing store called Unsightly & Peculiar.

    Or 七林茶, helpfully translated to 7ADEFH TKUHO

    Seen one fruit shop which is total nonsense; just a jumble of letters like GFXZFGH.

    WTF?

    The clothing store chain ‘Not Right, Just So’ always cracks me up.

    ‘Lucky Fook’ jewellery store is another good one, with other stores running variations on the ‘Fook’ theme.
