Sup From China.... Finally got a chance to check this site out while I am over here in China.... man these people Drive like nuts!!!!!!!! Never seen anything like it!! I saw one car / mini van type thing that had a huge graphic on the side that said "Rice Rod" with black flames surrounding it... ha ha ha I swear the thing had 10" tires on it. You drive on the left hand side of the road in Hong Kong then when you go through the border you switch to the way it is in the US. Don... I got you what you need.... now I gotta figure out how to get it home LOL

I've been to China about 8 or 9 times......
I usually fly into Hong Kong and take the ferry over to Zuhai and stay in that area. Macau is nice, and they have the jet boat ferry's which are smooth and faster than regular boat. On the Macau / China border there is an underground mall and they sell everything and allways barter
they will allways give you "Special price, just for you" 
If you get back to Hong Kong, not sure where you stay (I usually stay at either the Royal Pacific on Nathan Road or the Holiday in which is only a couple of streets away) have the cab take you to the Temple street night market for some shopping (FYI - **** DVD's are usually region coded
)
Regular DVD's are OK but some are duds, they go for about $5 US in HK but you can get them for 85 cents in China.
In the Zuhai area there is an underground go-kart race track where anything goes and there is a bar at trackside.
Have fun and remember you want your food dead and anything you drink in a bottle.

The best words you hear are from the Customs agent in NY when they say "welcome back to America"
