”How much is your cheapest human scull?” – We have replicas. We do have real ones too, but you need a medical license for those. ”Oh…” Ett samtal överhört mellan en väldigt besviken kinesisk man och ett butiksbiträde på Evolution (120 Spring Street) i Soho. Jag gÃ¥r dit med skräckblandad förtjusning och tittar pÃ¥ barnskelett, ormskinn, uppstoppade sengÃ¥ngare och giftiga insekter. Till exempel kom de vackra fjärilarna som jag fick i julklapp härifrÃ¥n. Hälften butik – hälften skräckkabinett (men frÃ¥ga mig inte vad de säger i tullen om du försöker ta med en tigertand i handbagaget…).

ENGLISH: ”How much is your cheapest human scull?” – We have replicas. We do have real ones too, but you need a medical license for those. ”Oh…” A conversation between a very disappointed Chinese man and a shop assistant at Evolution (120 Spring Street) in Soho. I go there with feelings mixed of terror and joy and look at children’s bones, snakeskin, stuffed sloths and poisonous insects. The beautiful butterflies I got for Christmas were bought here. Part shop/part chamber of horror (but please don’t ask me what customs will say if you try to bring an enormous tiger tooth through security…).
