Let’s go to the games arcade

Shanghai. Jun 2013

I brought the kids to a games arcade before going to see Superman movie. It looks like the games arcade is a big business in China, like elsewhere. The centre was huge with hundreds of game machines offering a large variety of games to suit all ages and abilities. After playing a game, small paper tickets get printed out and you can exchange them for gifts at the reception. Kids can’t enter in school uniforms. The place was well-lit, clean and professionally run. No unruly kids. No graffiti. No pick-pockets.
