德古麗琪(Slavenka Drakulić)的《歐洲咖啡館》說道，在索菲亞、地拉那、布加勒斯特等東歐地區，曾出現了大量以「歐洲」命名的店舖，這些名字從表面看來不過是招徠客人的手段，讓大家恣意消費他方的旑旎。但它其實更是一整個價值體系的追求。革命來了又去了，未如所想，唯有匆匆以一名償願，把自己強納入西方的版圖裡。 

德古麗琪舉了一個例子，孩子在街上騎著掃帚遊蕩，你問他這是甚麼，他可以毫不猶豫的答你：這是馬。而孩子和你都沒瘋，都睜著明眼看著這片蕭條。一個名字，就是「即時的天國」。

油尖旺散佈了許多這樣的賓館。西班牙的旁邊就是羅馬，威尼斯的對面就是馬德里，南京的附近就是聖地牙哥，巴黎的樓上就是夏威夷。這詭異的地理分佈，抬頭就看到，它的兒戲和分裂是明明可知的，如此我還入局。荒謬一夜也先要有我的成全。我由付帳直到沉睡，都是那麼的清醒，我自己就是這場幻覺的同謀甚至是主謀。

In her book "Cafe Europa", Slavenka Drakulić‘ talked about numerous Eastern European shops and restaurants named themselves with "splendorous" names  like Vienna Cafe and American Market. Obviously It is a method to attract costumer. But it also reveals how they wish to  include themselves in land of the advanced, strong, and wealthy.

A name is an instant heaven.

In Hong Kong, among the Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui area, there are a lot of hotels name after foreign countries - Venice is opposite to Madrid, Nanjing is close to Santiago, Paris is upstairs of Hawaii. Big lies exposed naked in the city. You have to be an accomplice to play this game.
