Cool. You'll get to check out all the China bikes!

Sounds like an adventure.

I think China would be a fascinating place to live! So much tradition and culture. Heck, at this point I'd just love to live somewhere that doesn't get snow 9 months of the year. Sounds like a cool trip, keep us updated please Pete!

Bring double adaptor!!! Although Chinese 3 pin plug very similar to NZ's but most of their wall socket that meets national standard are very British --> shutter's mechanism actived by earth pin (ie. can't plug in 2-pin NZ directly).
Chinese 2-pin is another story. Similar to US plug --> no hole & unpolarized

Anyway the new design is more useful
