China would be a trip...I was sitting on a bus in Chongqing and passed by shops, nay rows of shops specializing first in spiral staircases, then sinks and then toilets (the Chinese kind and the Western kind).

Other cities have specialized streets too. Dongguan, a manufacturing hub in the south, gets a bit carried away with it. Fun for photography, though.
