have particular Chinese characters you want, you may even order one from the
embroidery shops at Shanghai Street in Mongkok or in
Wanchai. This
is the kind of shop which does traditional Chinese wedding dresses and
accessories so commonly people order a piece of red silk with dragon and
phoenix and with the couples' name embroidered. Then the couple will put
it on the reception desk on the wedding night for guests to sign. The
shop charges per Chinese character and for the silk.

find a more market like area. There are kiosks which look as though they
are selling their great grandma's collections.
