andreww Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 OS, thanks for taking the time to post your fascinating experiences. Very eye-opening to say the least
gavidoc Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Dang Offshore, YOu've been typing this since Friday and I"ve been 2 hours away this entire time in Zhongshan. I'm also in China on business. Wish I would have known. Would have given you my China cell # to give you some tips and pointers when dealing with people here. It can be a challenge being on your own and not speaking a word of mandarin or cantonese. Glad you had a good and successful time.
exper Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Was great reading your travel log, will have to plan a trip there soon !
trailboss Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 aaaaah too bad you lost the page, you had so many things to tell today... I don't want to divulgue what he did and what he saw, but I believe OS has now a much clearer view of the rep market in China. The conclusion will be interesting for sure... have a good rest dude, tomorrow you must have full of energie for the last rush take care earth2172 Ahhhh! I think I know who this is!

P_Diddy Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 heard a while back that the Chinese replicated a Ferrari... hmmn I wonder how accurate and well made their rep cars would be, as safety and performance are paramount in cars and you would not normally need that level of reliability in a rep watch, except if using a rep Divers watch for diving. On our way to dinner last nite, he pointed out many products FS...shoes, bags, electronics, you name it, everything which was for sale, was a copy! Their bloody cars are copies...Benz,Porsche,Rollers, anything at all which has "brand" generated sales is copied.
dbutlerman Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Nice job O/S! I don't think I'll ever make the trip, but that sure sounds like an adventure!
bluerex Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Fascinating read, mate. Really looking forward to the epilogue.

professor_yaffle1 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 OS, absolutely brilliant reporting - I've been looking forward to these each day.
