Patrick in China until 6 December
 

Hi Guys,

I'll be gone until 6 December -- so if you have any questions, please contact the good people at Castle.

Patrick

Have a great trip Patrick!

Have a safe trip, look forward to whatever new CC news you will surely bring us after your trip.

Have a great trip and stay away from the fried silk worms.

why stay away from fried silk worms?

What are fried silk worms? Are they anything like french fries?

The duck egg paste/puree is pretty good though.

egg paste puree is good. Eating fried insects from street vendors is just asking for parasites.

Please dont tell us you are looking at offloading some of your manufacturing.......that WILL make a difference to me when considering who's product I purchase.

Where do you think all of the castle neu motors are made??

china's cool...been there done that :P
hope your trip is fruitful

Crap...I thought the Teckno Versions were the ones built in China....Which motors are the ones built here?

Only the original Neus, I believe.

Original Neus and Techno Neus made in USA.

assembled in the us, from parts made in china.


Astro, Novak, and Neu are the only companies that assemble motors in the US, to my knowledge.

How about Tekin?

Not sure about Tekin.

Actually i thought neus were wound in mexico iirc

Meebee they should send 'em to Cuba and the ladies could roll/wind motors in the tobacco offseason!

Ever been to SoCal? Lots of Mexicans! The Neus are probably wound by Mexicans - whether they live in US or Mexico is anyone's guess, though. :)

HAHAHA, good one Mike!

Rofl

southern people eat some insects, especially the Cantonese(GuangDong). Actually they eat anything you can and can't imagine. walking on the small streets in Guangzhou and look what the restaurants are showing in baskets laid on the ground, you may start missing KFC. :mdr:

North area don't have that kind of culture, people just eat human food.:yes:

hehehe, I'm am from chinese background as well. The things I use to see on the table at times.

on a side note, smoked monkey was really good.

was great how the supermarkets had live turtles and frogs for sale!

on our holiday we wanted to buy some rice to cook for cheap dinner.
