Chinese New Year - Bad mongering time?
[QUOTE=Azn Playa]Yeah looks like it.
Does that mean all of Cockburn's posts have been deleted too?
[/QUOTE]Wow! I did not logon for a few days and I am missing out so much?
It is very interesting to read posts by member AP making a fool out of himself.…Bad news for you Ass Pi; Jackson do not delete facts, he delete bullshit and faming posts. He banned members like you who post faming report under several different nicknames. The bullshitter Santa was referring to is you!
Back to some real information:
The Chinese New Year seems to be a bad time for traveling out for mongering. I had just got into Shenzhen, checked into my hotel 2 hours ago. I took out my list of contact numbers of pimps, mummies and KTV managers; started calling them to see if they are still good on their girl’s supplies. Out of 4 pimps and 4 mummies, only two of them picked up their phone. But unfortunately, one of them told me she is not in this business anymore, and the other told me he has no more girls. Of course when I turned onto the KTV managers, they keep saying, No problems lots of girls in the KTV, although it is Chinese New Year, many pretty girls do not go back for the holidays. I got myself a room booked at the KTV and will see how it goes. Report in later.
Any member wants to meet up to check out Las Vegas KTV later? I intend to go there after dinner at 10pm. PM me please.
Happy New Year to all!

Color Slide film in China.
I plan a visit to Jilin province in the September '07 time frame. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to buy 35mm color slide film in China and if it is possible to get it developed and mounted there?

Forget about finding high-tech supplies on the road
Hi Lex,
Should never count on buying any high-tech supplies on the road, including big cities in Europe, Asia, South America... left alone some podunk town in China. You should pack all the supplies you ever need,or you will waste a lot of time looking and never finding.
Better yet, use digital cameras to save on the high costs of film and processing. The new SLR digital cameras are now equiped with 1Mil pixel sensors, which far exceed the resolution of the finest lenses on the market. So what's the point of using slides? If National Geographic can use digital equipment for their photo shoots, it should be good for most uses, unless one plans to photograph the pubic areas in extreme high-resolution close up -:)).
Anyone with a Vietnamese exwife deserves sympathy and support :-))

film vs. digital photography
i guess when you ask a question in a venue such as this, you are opening yourself up to every crackpot who thinks he knows something. but in the interest of furthering the knowledge of those who are interested in truth, i will say that one wing low's advice, although appreciated, is bullshit.
why i prefer slides over digital is my business. but his knowledge is flawed. the lens is not what determines resolution. any decent lens on the market today is capable of resolving much finer detail than can be captured even using a 10 mega pixel ccd (the device in a digital camera on which the image is captured). the resolution of a particular sensor and how much detail it is capable of showing is a complex issue, beyond the scope of this forum.
but it is generally agreed that digital photography is not quite able to surpass film photography yet. the reason national geo and other publications use digital is not that the quality of the photos is better. the reasons have to do with economics and with speed and ease of transmission of digital images vice images on film.
thanks anyway one wing. but in addition to being a dickhead, you don't know what you are talking about. :)
