CHINA !!!

You may find almost everything amazing things here in China.


1. Huckster everywhere
You can see huckster everywhere, they sell almost everything, most common stuff like X-films, manicure treatment, DVDs, handbags, watches, pirated of coz. They surprise me when I heard of huckster sells laptop, they whisper at you and promote the laptop, you normally find them outside the subway. I wonder someone will buy a laptop in that situation? Maybe, it's cheap, at a very low price RMB 1000+, you can get a laptop, dare to buy?



2. Made in China ~ handmade


It's common to have handmade stuff, but do you ever see this - handmade modem?

My friend just bought it, he claims it works fine, but who knows how long it can stand? Friends told me there is 'handmade' laptop too, they collect the pieces from the broken or used laptop, and reassemble to be a new laptop.
I like this one, isn't it cool and special? He install a fan to it, I think he is cool too.



3. Automated Machine

It does not surprise me to see automated machine selling hotdogs, but have you ever imagine selling sweet potatoes? Introducing to you, an automated machine selling taiwan sweet potatoes...
Put in the coin, choose which potato looks tasty to you, select and boom, you got it from the bottom case.






4. Conmanship

There are many stories you heard about conmanship in China. Walk out of the subway or along the busy street, you may see a young girl or guy with smart outfit, squat and beg for money. They are modern beggars, not handicapped, but surprisingly can attract people to help them.

They normally draw their bad story with a chalk, the most common story I ever seen is she was here to meet a new friend, but got cheated all her money, so she is asking for money to get home. It's not weird to being cheated, and I feel sympathied about them, but kjust wonder where they get the chalk? Or the guy normally leave them a chalk after cheating them???
