可中关村~ 说它是 silicon hutong 都是抬举。胡同代表了很多东西呢，很有一部分是美好的。 我看叫 silicon flea market 不错。 或者 silicon bazar 其实连那个silicon都不要要了。就要 中关村市场 ，中关村大卖场 都更贴切。 前两天听到一个说法 中介约等于骗子。 那中关村约等于什么呢？ ：）

At first you don’t really understand what the bok is about. Things are not put down as you’d expect from reading any of the authors previous works. Completely umlike “1234″ and the award acclaimmed “Abcd”, “Asdfas” takes a very surprising route. The narrative is very caotic, intricate, and really makes the reader play […]
