(China) - My two young sons have a new favourite hobby - going into a 'Chinese shop' and buying a new toy. In fact a day rarely goes by at the moment when they don't ask "Mum please can we go to the Chinese shop?" During the last couple of years the rural inland town in Spain where we live has seen a steady amount of Chinese shops open, and whilst many Spanish and even English-run shops in the town are failing and closing down, the growing number of Chinese shops in the area are thriving.
