A place called Shehou is a ferry ride away from Hong Kong. The was a patch of houses that where the families of the US oil personnel lived. They had a supermarket for basics in much the same way as the USA plus delicatessants loaded with genuine American produce. To keep themselves and the kids equipped they would take the ferry to Hong Kong and purchase everything there.
Just down the road was Shekou town where you could buy any kind of food (Never did see Brussel sprouts) for peanuts. Any clothing of any brand was available at ridiculous prices. Venturing further, about 3 kilometers would bring you to Nantou which was awash with high class malls with everything including Gucci and Burberry.
"Don't go there, they don't speak American."
