Dunes runner, believe me you should go because:
1.CHEAP ORIGINAL BRANDED STUFF (Mind you that most of the brands are 'made in China', they are made expensive outside the china mainland because of the tax implied by your and our country).
I didnt buy any clothes because it would become useless as all they sold were THICK AND PACKED jwinter jackets and gloves. I did buy a REAL PLAYBOY BROWN LEATHER SHOES + ITS BELLY = for only 210 RMB yuan = U$24 and so. And I bought a Rolex Omega unbelievably for U$12 = 100 RMB yuan in the black market (probably a second hand or stolen omega, but still... the original first hand stuff is also way cheaper than the ones found in your watch shops in america)
2.CHEAP FOOD CHEAP FOOD (Can u imagine im saying this? even indonesia lost to china for pricing). McDonalds PACK BIG MAC MEAL (bigmac+large-cocacola+large-fries+sauce) = 17 yuan = thats barely U$1 and 80 cents.
3.CHEAP HOTELS - Theres a 3 star hotel offering a full stay including the breakfast for 1000 yuan PER MONTH! = thats U$110/month for a 3 star hotel accomodation + morning breakfast + laundry + electrical and water. HELL CHEAP.
4.HARBIN CHICKS - russian mixed chinese - fair white and tall and beautiful. Anyone?
What an impact, cos They showed us in 1998, Guangzhou and Szhenchen were only paddy fields and vacant flat land and look at those cities now... Look like future cities with their tall and sophisticated sky line.
Im stunned.
YOU SHOULD GO TO CHINA ONCE, AT LEAT BEFORE YOU DIE.
