A friend of mine came over to visit around that time and we bought a selection of stuff and he took it back to the Uk and stashed it. Watches, lighters, dolls, all kinds of stuff. The 'best' find was an LCD type handheld console game where you had to shoot down planes before they hit the buildings called "Bush vs Bin-laden". If you won a level it played a blip version of 'Yankee-doodle rode to town'. We got two and have one still boxed and wrapped. There was a dancing Saddam doll around at one point too. Anyone alse remember the "Russian Shop" in that plaza that used to be by the Henan Lu metro station? BTW.</p>
