Recorded July 5, 2009 1:17pm. Qiu Jiang Lu is a street in Shanghai where you can buy all sorts of used and new electronics equipment. From stereos, cell phones, computers, and porn- anything and everything is for sale. Duscher used to frequent this area quite a bit when he was young to buy ‘punched’ CDs and I.T. related electronics. Although he does not frequent this area as much today, the street has not changed much from what he remembers, save the construction of a new elevated light rail system as well as an elevated highway. He even meets a friend that he used to buy CDs from during our walk.
