China would be a stupid, ignorant emo-teenager's dreamland. No matter WHAT store you are in, be it a primitive local store, or the more civilized shops meant for "rich" foreigners, ANYONE can buy alcohol or tobbacco...I saw this group of kids, they were about 12-13, raid the shelves of beer and tobacco...(you can get good Vodka for less than 10 dollars, so..)...and, of course, coughing and choking every time they take a sip....kids these days...it really pisses me off. I always just remove their cigarettes, and threaten them if they try something. Not to come off as immature or violent, and of course it's their own decision, but I just really feel like making them feel bad...
