    Last sale was pretty good since you could get almost 50%off on most of tmall shops, this one is a joke, the biggest discount I saw was 10%, it’s just the hype that taobao creates.

    I know at least three girls who had their iphones stolen while listening to music (one also near ke hua lu). So girls dont let those white earphones show, buy a different set of headphones since now a days nobody is going to go thru that much trouble to get anything less than an iphone. And i hate to create streotypes but I have to say that if you see a xinjiang guy around u …….. double check your pockets.

    I had a Blackberry stolen the same way years ago, on Kehua Bei Lu.

    Funny, they got mine on ke hua bei lu too. Yeah the unicom package is neat, although my friend tells me that the 5 is even worse than than 4s in terms of the battery. The 4s was bad enough, I could only get 9 to 12 hours outta one charge. My perfect plan of using that phone for 3 more months and getting the 5 has been disrupted.

    If anyone wants a heavy duty bike I’ll be more than happy to help them out, there are many shops where you can buy such bikes and many repair shops. I read that in america a bike rider is 49 times more like to have a serious injury, so I would guess in china it’s 490 times more likely for that to happen. It also sucks that in the summer it’s always raining and the winter is so cold, and roads lately are a mess, I think 80% of my friends have sold their bikes since last year due the road conditions. Also the hellaflush cars are becoming the new trend.

    Chengdu has a good race track and a lot of races, I’ll tell you guys guys when the next race is due. But generally the traffic cops go home after 7 pm so there is no risk even if you don’t have the documents, and the 110 police don’t care about the bikes, but its a hustle since the car drivers really don’t know how to drive and I can’t ride on the bike line doing 30kph.

    Guys, don’t put your phone in your jacket pocket, had my 4S stolen a week ago, the day before my birthday. But i wanna get the 5 from Unicom and friends tell me its gonna take at least half a year for them to start selling it, but i know u can buy from taobao now 5000 + RMB, but there are also talks about the 5S which they all say with certainty that it’s gonna be coming soon.

    Just buy the bike, I have been riding a kawasaki ninja for the past year and had other bikes before that, all 600cc and above and never had a problem. The cops are really ok, I mean you can talk and reason with them if anything happens, but you should not ride it in the day time (often). My new bike is legally registered although it cost a lot to get the plates but they are worth it, and I ride everyday with all my friends who have sport bikes.

    I mean if you go to tianfu square around 5pm on monday and stop at a red light there is 30% chance that a cop might stop you (only traffic police can ask for your driving license) and there is still 80% chance you can talk your way out of it, and you should have never stay there if you see them coming towards you anyway.

    Regarding the riding license you can convert yours into a chinese on, of course you have to pay around 1,500 or more anyway. Everything legit, and its a good idea to have one, my friend had an accident and broke his leg, the guy who hit him will pay him 200,000 rmb, where as if he didnt have the license it would be different.

    You can also get registration for your bike. I got all the registration because I just fear if I hit a pedestrian then I can stop my self from falling into some deep trouble. I paid alot for it but it’s worth it.
