The comic figures of Tintin on a plaque in front of a brick wall

WHICH STORY
HAS
OUR NAME?

Tintin, from the Belgium series “The adventures of Tintin”, was my childhood hero. He took me along on all his adventures around the world. The Blue Lotus took place in Shanghai, and the scenery was the most exotic, colourful, dangerous – in other words creative – that I could ever imagine. This inspired the name – a place I longed to be in my childhood years.
