Now here's a business idea I have to say I never imagined would be too successful: pink inflatable pigs. I mockingly thought to myself that that poor guy must have been out of his mind when he decided that inflatable pig seller was to be his next career move.
And so this lunch time, armed with camera, I decided to search for the guy who was so clearly lacking in business acumen, to make him the latest subject of my blog.
But to my amazement, as I prepared to capture this amusing little image, a steady stream of people walked up to him, handed over some money and then walked off as casually as if they were buying a newspaper.
I'm trying to imagine the scene back at home where mum says to her son "we're out of inflatable pigs" and the son replies "okay mum, I'll just pop out and get a couple more"!
hahahaha
I'll probably get a couple of these pinky piggies too! sooo cute!!! except i don't see them anywhere in Shanghai =/

Haha yeah that's kinda funny. I mean can you imagine any guy over here buying something like that for his girlfriend??? Boy would that guy be in trouble lol. Must be similar to the whole flower bouquet parade thing that you commented on back in Feb ;-)
