Wuxi China Expat Van De Meer opens late night clock shop off European Street.

Wuxi Expat Van De Meer says he has opened a shop that will sell Chinese clocks.   "The "clocks" we have," said Van De Meer, "all work fine.  We check to see they are clean and operational every day."

 

The shop is located in a residential area off Wuxi's European Street.  "across the street from the site of the Old Muslim Restaurant, there is lane.  Walk down that lane, and turn left at the second lane.  (If you hit a canal, you have gone too far. )  Go to the third entrance on the left. Walk up two flights of stairs.  You will see a door.  Use the knocker.   Knock twice.  A man will slide open a panel that is at eye view.  He will look you in the eye and say "Anyone who raises himself up will be humbled..." You must respond, in a high-pitched voice " and anyone who humbles himself will be raised up."  Take your clothes off, and do a dance of your choice and you will be admitted."
