2010-06-11 09:02:26 (8243 views) 2 day trip from China to HongKong to meet with our accountant and finalize some papers to open our bank account. This is what you would see on the streets of Hong Kong on a typical business visit, walking around randomly (which isn't hard to do since all the streets look the same, jam packed with signs, and asking for directions yields mixed results).
Typical street view:
LOTS of color LEDs...
Lots of gold for sale, and jewelry...
Knowledge of medicine is very widespread, with doctors at every corner...
Whatever your ailment, some potion can be prepared from all natural ingredients.
Medical service is extended to anyone in need, even miniature footballs.
A visit with Dr Dik? Maybe next time...
Weight is not a social stigma here.
But TV service can be a bit yucky...
And dark alleys abound
Which is why you may want to take some of this
Or buy a stone dog to protect your property
In case you begin to feel a certain appetite, PIG HEADS can be head for only 15 HKD...
And if you're into buddhism you'll never run out of stuff to burn.
Fortunately the banks are big and clean...
Finally, a couple of views of the bay and the ferry

Polycarbonate prototypes... very nice finish for a machined part, although the new machine shop screwed up a few spots and we can't put the PCB in the receiver (but they are making a new piece free of charge to fix this).

However, there's one small and mean programming task with teeth we're finally attacking and that's the part where we allow you to reprogram the DL2K-LINK without external hardware.

Quality is very high! This is the result of testing out MANY companies... not everyone is reliable here in China but if you're willing to put in the hard work you will find some rare gems of quality and reliability.
