Taipei Curio Shop: Run by an elderly couple from Taiwan, this antique shop is a popular stop on the famous Antique Row located just east of downtown.  Chang-Shu ("Charlie") Mo and his wife Ing ("Agnes") have run the Taipei Curio Shop for 27 years in this small converted Victorian-era brothel.  The Curio Shop was one of the first such shops in the city, and it is widely considered one of the founders of Antique Row itself. Inside the shop are found many curiosities from the East - china dolls, teak statuettes, buddha trinkets, and all that you might expect.  But there is more, if you look closely enough.  In fact, almost anything might be found in the Curio Shop if enough time is spent in the search.  A clever GM in a campaign with magic might allow PCs to find magic items in the Curio Shop, or perhaps ingredients for spells.Charlie Mo is very knowledgeable on Eastern art, and Oriental mysticism, and is a big supporter of Taiwanese independence from mainland China.  Mo and his wife fled Taiwan in the 1970s, but they still have a lot of ties to their homeland.</blockquote>
