[quote=APAULT,253007]Commenting on various points: I have seen MP4 in Guangzhou for 400rmb. Electronic goods are just slightly dearer in Australia than China. The reason is clear - the goods are high value lightweight items that are chaeply sent by air, and using the business technique of 'just in time', there is little storage cost. The only reason they are a shade more expensive is that the foreign retailer needs a higher dollar margin to live in the more expensive country. There are many bargains in China, it is not just food that is cheap. However, many might not be the things that you want to take home - I mean, how many bags of cement can you carry?? !! I wouldn't know how to spend $200 a day, Griz. Even if I spent 200 rmb on a room. That still leaves 1200+ rmb a day! Strewth mate, you must drink a load of top shelf brandy!![/quote]
