haha, so i guess china’s “strike hard” anti-piracy policy was a temporary thing after all. i remember going back six months after we were all at beida, and almost all of those dvd places had either shut down or stopped carrying dvds.

have they extended that subway system to beida yet?

Parts of NYC smell exactly like Beijing. We’re both home away from our respective homes.
Recently bought a “DVD” from Chinatown and realized that the $5 I paid afforded a nice profit margin relative to the vendors’ Mainland procurement.
I hope things are well. Keep writing, and take care!

Given what’s happening back in the states, maybe you can set up a server in China from which people can download music — how is that for a new business idea :-).

Big up to Liudaokou!

About Zhongguancun — I found that the computers available there seemed to be about a generation behind what I could find here in Toronto, but admittedly I didn’t look that hard. I was under the impressions that the prices (at least for non-black market stuff) ended up being about the same as what you can get here. Aren’t the deals in HK/Taiwan? I suppose it’ll change as production continues to move to China.

I wonder how different Beijing looks now from when I last saw it two years ago. Quite different, for sure. I also wonder how Beijing’s computer district compares to Shanghai’s.

Glad to hear you’ll be unblocked soon. Looking forward to it!
