    Good idea, Rick (about the seasonings)!

    I don’t support counterfeited goods tho :/ 99% of the time, they’re total crap! Plus I have a very particular taste in movies, and I doubt these rare titles are popular in China.

    How would you go about buying an unlocked DVD player when you don’t speak Chinese? Kinda afraid of getting ripped off and having no recourse… 😛

    Thanks for your input, Al and Charlie. I guess I’m pretty old school 😉 I like to have guidebooks for every place I travel to – having something tangible and readily accessible in my hands when I’m on foreign soil puts my mind at ease. You never know how accessible internet will be when you are on the road!

    Here’s another old school question for ya – how easy is it to buy unlocked DVD players (including Blu Ray) in Chengdu? I want to take some of my favorite movies on DVD with me, and obviously they are Region 1… Wondering if I should take a DVD player from the U.S. or buy an unlocked one in Chengdu.

    If your answer is ‘I haven’t watched a DVD in years’, then I guess I have turned into a dinosaur at a young age… it’s my obsession with tangibility! LOL
