Huh? Shenzhen is one of the first place in China with foreign investment so there are tons of manufacturers. But nowadays lots of factories have moved to other places so there are still lots of factories.

However, there are lots of people who are eBay vendors. Tons of stuff shipped from Shenzhen. He may still be rich as F if he is in the right place or the right family....

Guff, maybe you can get him to buy one of the supra from you instead..

Sucks for you, not.

I just upgraded my video card in mine to an ATI HD7870 (replaced a 57**) slightly overclocked. When I restarted Skyrim after the install it came up and said:

"DUDE! This is just awesome, we are automatically maxing out all your settings on all 3 of your monitors!"

I may be paraphrasing that a bit.

That's what my Chinese friend's tell me. Shenzhen is the equivalent to "Las Vegas" that or I might be mistaken for Guangzhou.

Does your friend mean the gambling nature of Las Vegas? If so, that would be Macao outside of Ju-jian river. Guangzhou is the capitol of the province. Shenzhen was just a experimental land near Hong Kong probably 30 years ago for their first trial of capitalism, and it went well.

In fact, there are so many dialects of Chinese. Which ones are you referring (Cantonese and Mandarin)?
