Hey man, welcome to JW. Ive never been to China, so i cant help you there. yea, use imageshack to upload your pictures. When you browse though your pictures, you get a screen like this.



Just copy and paste the "Thumbnail for fourms" to the reply or post, and you will get a small picture that can be clicked on by us to get the larger picture. I reccomend trying it a couple of times just to make sure you can get it down pat.

Thanks a lot guys.

Chinese food in China is really varied. I found the food near Beijing to be similar to American food, very sweet and really greasy. My favorite dish so far has been the Hot Pot or Duck Liver and Cow intestines (sounds gross but was really good.)

I was just in Shanghai and dissappointed by the cars i saw...lots of big Mercedes and BMW's, but only 1 boxster, a few Cayenne's and 2 911's in front of the Porsche Cafe.

I'll be in Hong Kong on the 8th of august and i have really high hopes.

See you guys soon!

Go to Mural on Friday nights....100yuan ($12 US) all you can drink from 10-2am...good looking women, although it can be mostly guys sometimes...all M on the Bund, it's a little expensive but the skyline view is to die for. And there is a Porsche Cafe just to the south of People's Square, the only place i saw any sports cars in the city.

I'll be in Hong Kong Monday Aug 9th-10th. I can't wait....all those amazing cars on one tiny little island. Also if you get the chance stop in Xiamen, its a great city on the way from Shanghai to Hong Kong.
