More fakes!

I'm loving the fakes. Some more for you:

- we have a fake Burberry rug in our hotel room
- I saw a "Rud Bull" motorbike jacket in Dalat
- there was a haberdashery type shop in Dalat whose billboard had Kate Moss on it (I am reasonably sure Ms Moss did not give her permission)
- nearly all of the "wooden bridges" are actually concrete (a huge amount)

And the clincher is the photocopied novels they sell. You can buy photocopies of any of the books topping the bestseller lists. Quentin's got one at the moment about the MacNamara line which goes even further: it's been re-typed by a non-English speaker, who's just stuck random letters in here and there, and then photocopied. Noice.
