  I also love to eat these. I can eat one whole pack. I am still eating it. It is called 山楂片. Most of them have become bigger and mostly look like this but the small ones still around.

  

  Jump Rope Rhyme

  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around,

  Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground.....

  The children jump rope while they sing this rhyme, they act out the

  actions as the words come up in the rhyme.

   

  Playing marbles

  

   The term use is funny. "Kissing".

  London Bridge game. Can't remember how it is play. But only know when the two person arms put down, they will capture a person.

  

  Oriental Emporium and the A&W in it.

  Yaohan. Went to buy toys before it closed down. So cheap. Less than $10.

  All closed down.

  Sogo. Don't know it still around.

  Back then,my primary school did not allow center parting for guys.They said that those with center parting are gangsters and if you have that hairstyle,they will cane you and call your parents in for talk.Kaoz,in the end everyone go side parting.Anyone else the primary school also ban center parting back then?Is that rule still enforced till today?
