Gold Music & Video Store

I’ve search all over Asia and the cyberspace world only to return what has been here in New York the whole time. «Hui2 dao4 zui4 chu1 de mei3 hao3. Go back to the happiness at the very start.» — Jay Chou
An impossible to attain 2008 Jay Chou music CD/​DVD at $ 16.95 for an authentic sound quality delivering results without error during track play, is now possible to be attained. It appears most of Gold Music’s stock are authentic CD’s NOT bootleg copies. The sales associate immediately taken action to search for my written request both in Chinese and English without question. Low and behold there is only ONE copy remaining and no other discography albums from this singer in stock. The associate is knowledgeable with Chinese singer artists, thus patrons not need to further describe details.
Unfortunately this review is four stars due the poor minimal oral English skills of the associate as I had to converse entirely in Cantonese for the sales transaction, whom at first she fend off a masked impression of Mandarin but I forced the conversation specifically to Cantonese. I believe this merchant is cash only as there appears no credit card machines visible. Further the definite underwriting of this four stars bear the low stock level in Gold Music’s merchandise.
Gold Music sits on the outskirts of Chinatown on Grand Street, which is a far cry for a long haul walk.

The sign for this business is entirely in Chinese, I only know the English name of this business from their card. As the name suggests, they sell jewelry, DVD’s of Chinese movies and Chinese music CD’s. They also sell Zippo lighters and shoes. They got me as a customer with the shoes.
When the weather turned snowy I realized I didn’t have a proper pair of bad weather boots. My good boots were less than good in the snow, ice and cold puddles of salty water popping up all over town, so I needed something quick, and preferably cheap. I stopped at a national chain, but their options didn’t fit the bill. I didn’t want to spend real money on boots that get worn less two months a year. On my way home I saw a pair of Fuda brand work boots in the window of Gold Music & Video Store Inc. I walked in and inquired after the price. $ 18 for leather uppers, oil resistant soles and seemingly more solid than the lesser priced options I’d seen at the national chain. They were neither fashionable, nor the most comfortable boots in the world, but just fine for slogging through inclement winter weather — their only purpose for me.
I handed the nice lady $ 20 bucks, she handed two back to me, and I walked out of the store with a new pair of boots. I have every reason to think they’ll survive this winter, and maybe the next. Regardless, when they do fall apart I’ll be very likely to come back to Gold Music & Video Store Inc for another pair. If in the meantime I find myself needing Chinese CD’s or DVD’s I’ll be back sooner.
