rodwc Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hopefully , by this time next Sat. I will be in Guangzhou, that is if the inclement weather has improved, and the weather is comparable to what we are having here in Oz., ( sunny and 27 degrees C, ) and the airport remains open. If there is any interest in me doing some kind of travelogue regarding reps. etc. I would oblige. I know this topic has been covered by 2 or 3 other members in the past couple of years and thought an update could possibly be of some help and interest. Please give me your thoughts. Cheers.

Watchmeister Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would welcome an update. Won't it be slow due to Chinese New Year though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodwc Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would welcome an update. Won't it be slow due to Chinese New Year though? Fine, I have been assured by a couple of sources that the shops and markets will be open and in full swing, especially during CNY. ( only the factories will be closed, and most likely our collectors). If I had a choice I would have gone a little later, but then the large international trade fair starts in April, and hotel and prices skyrocket everywhere. Keep your fingers crossed.

rek001 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'd love to read your travelogue,TeevTee's from a few years was so interesting - I still have this image in my mind of a solid block of steel bracelets 3 foot tall all wrapped up in plastic, crazy. Have a great trip and I hope all goes well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 i'd definitely be interested in an update -- it's always revealing to see what things are like in the place that is the origin of most of our watches.... have a great trip, and take a bunch of pictures deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustybrand Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I just hope your pronunciation of Guangzhou is better than mine. My (Chinese) wife laughs every time I pronounce it. Apparently my way means 'naked pig'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmasters Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 just curious, where abouts in Guangzhou are the main shopping areas for watches, etc.. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodwc Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 just curious, where abouts in Guangzhou are the main shopping areas for watches, etc.. ? At this stage , this is all I know. Stay tuned. Reg, ( Narika) gave verbal directions in a post a while back, basically just head for the bus station. Pictures are going to be a problem though. I could take a movie config. and cover the red light over, but then I`m not sure if I can upload it to photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmasters Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks! My bro is actually going there in a couple of days. Those directions are very generic to say the least... Gam Si Lao... Watch district.. I guess everyone in Guangzhou would know where that is Yeah i don't know how you would be able to update us while you're there... have fun!

My company has an office in Zhongshan and my direct report there acts as a translator for me when I'm there. She's already located the markets in Guangzhou and Shenzhen for my trip.
