This year I went to China earlier due to SA regulatory issues which is postponing the importation of products. - Yes, I don't miss Hope's birthday this year!
Normal trip which lasted 10 days but a few more factories crammed into the trip which meant that we visited 19 factories, stayed in more hotels and took more trains and internal China flights.
More hotels meant less WASHING as we did not stay in many hotels longer then 1 night Aka Stinky socks because I travel light! The rand was at an all time low so we costed at R13.50 to the dollar.
This year we caught the ferry to Shunda first then went up North as far as Shanghai and Hefei and spent a day in Tsingtao which is on the coast and - yes the home of Chinese beer! Kept fit by running 5Km per day and felt really good on the trip with no jetlag being experienced, shame the poor China man on the aisle seat of the plane had to jump up about 6 times in the middle of the night to make way for loo trips due to excessive drinking on my behalf - water that is because it is the best medicing for any jet lag, drink 2 L and you will be fine.
Highlights:
Beer festival in Tsingtao
9Km run along the beach the next morning
Wagu beef Steak in Shenzhen which was a crazy price - 360RMB with no chips or veg!!!!
Bought a Nutri bullet in Hong Kong for a fraction of the price here in S.A.
Gave Guan my bible - I pray he reads it!
Stayed at the Hilton in Tsingtao.
Got Addidas gear all for the girls at a great price.
