I didn't have my camera with me that night, but I'll take it with me tonight when I go out. We're driving up to Shanghai this afternoon to buy some Western style food from Wal-Mart. I look forward to using a fork again.

Of course Nanjing Lu You can find Delis which sell all kind western stuf with very high prices.
I try to find one 530Li here, what should not be difficult because there seem to be one front of hotel every day.

And we all regulars know that this is quite old news, but maybe too old so that all have not seen it.

Average height by country men/women:
China 5' 6"/5' 2"
US 5' 10"/5' 4"
Germany 5' 8"/5' 3"
Netherlands 5' 11"/5' 5"
UK 5' 10"/5' 4"
France 5' 8"/5' 3"
I'll take the theory that Chinese owners are not owner-drivers. I guess the owners don't appreciate a good driving machine.

Well, I go to China alot for work/business and I think the average height doesn't really apply to China. It's over a billion people and northern people are pretty tall. Remember, China isn't a 'single ethnic race' country so to speak.. There are Han, Man, Mong, Hui, Zhang, Miao, Yao, Bai, ZhaoXian peoples that make up a single country.... (Kinda like Europe and its German, French, English, Italian,etc) Hmmm.. I think I've got them all.. not sure though. And the height varies according to geographic and ethnic variables.
Also, I don't quite get that theory of owner-drivers of yours. I have lots of business associates over there driving Ferraris, Masaratis, BMWs, etc and they do know their cars.

Hong Kong is a different story. I've seen more Porsches and Ferraris per mile of road there than anywhere else I've been. Many of them are done up too. Lot of S500's there too and many of them are owner driven.
