Ah yes, San Marino.
I believe the high Chinese population has helped erode the blue laws that seem to have been in effect for the longest time in San Marino. It used to be that EVERYTHING was closed in San Marino on Sundays. But in the last few years, I'm noticing a few businesses (like restaurants) being open on Sundays, which would have been unheard of there 10 years ago. I'm sure some Chinese businessmen were saying "What?? Closed on Sundays??? That's bad for business!! Turn away potential customers??? You can't make money that way!!!"
There are a few Chinese/Taiwanese-type businesses in San Marino now too, like noodle shops and Chinese bakeries.
