Unreasonable at Sea day 26
So – instead of deciding to take a motor bike from Shanghai down to Hong Kong, we realized that we need to get there ASAP – reason is:
it is the Chinese new Years starting on the 9th. Therefore, companies are starting to take vacation on the 7th. We REALLY want to meet Seeed studios and other companies that can give us leads and insight into manufacturing and sourcing electronics in China.
