I have just spoken to the bank manager.
There are no new regulations or temporary restrictions on currency exchange in China.
The moulding shops have every profile of wood, except round. Probably because mouldings need at least one flat side. This stuff usually comes in 4m lengths, so if you go to buy take a saw or a strong knee. There is a selection of soft and hardwoods available.
Lightweight alternative would be the narrow guage plastic pipe. I think the stuff they use for electrical conduit is lighter than water pipe.
If I was to use bamboo, I would glue over the top/bottom of the pictures to make a sleeve/tube first. Then insert the bamboo. This would get around the problems with the taper and irregular shape of the bamboo knuckles.
I will have a look, but you could also think about non-round shapes.
I will check back in later, I am off out now.
Do you mean wooden dowels (short pieces used for joining woodwork), or dowelling (long lengths)?
I have seen the former, but only in 10mm dia at Dong Guan Lu decorators market.
If the latter, there are lots of wood and plaster moulding suppliers that do thin strips at Da Shang Hui, but I have not noticed doweling as I was not looking specifically for this.
What do you need it for, and I can keep an eye open, as I am going out to look at suppliers today. I might see something of use to you.
The other quality issue with some cheap brands is low quality materials. Bearings that wear overly quickly, pedal stems and forks that bend are three issues that spring to mind.
And bad management will say, 'but we build to the same quality standards that we always have'. Which is often true.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.

I guess that is what you call Buddhism with a Chinese face.

发布者Blobbles, if there are not trees, you may be able to make out farmers routes on Google Earth. You can sometimes.
If you have personal GPS you could also check progress by pre-defining lat-long from Google Earth before you leave home and write them on a print out.
Just an idea.
