I went into an ordinary noodle shop in the alley for a quick snack. When I finished the bowl of noodles and looked up the ceiling and saw lights surrounded with traditional Chinese birdcages. I've seen similar stuff at up-scale store such as DelayNoMore selling for over $1,000 each. Then I asked the shop owner where did she bought these lights. She told me that she picked up these abandoned birdcages on the street and thought it's cute to use them to cover the lights. I told her that I felt great just by looking at the ceiling, and her creative mind had really cheered my day and her talent had successfully turned her noodle shop into the mecca of contemporary design. She was so pleased with my words, and gave me a $2 discount on my noodles. Tuesday, December 02, 2008
