Just what I always wanted to enjoy, a grubby, dirty, themed arcade, something that takes the worst stereotypes of a country and makes them real! Just so you know, you aren’t actually in a rough Chinese back alley -- the Chinese back street arcade provides towels and drinks, in case you tire of offending people.
