All this week we’re posting reports from our Global Geek Tour to China. We brought lots of stuff back to give away, so be on the look out for freebies along the way. Each day will have a video, pictures, and giveaways.
- Monday: Apliu Street electronics market in Hong Kong
- Tuesday: Shenzhen Maker Faire, China’s first Maker Faire
- Wednesday: Seeed Studio tour, see where our stuff
is made - Thursday: Shenzhen Hua Qiang Bei market tour
- Friday: Final giveaways, maybe a workshop video about the stuff we bought if we still have the energy
Don’t forget our wiki of resources to help plan your next geek tour or Maker Faire. We recently expanded the digital travel section with reliable VPN configurations, which are essential if you want to securely monitor your home network or access your usual sports betting sites while overseas. The updated guide also features fresh offline transit maps, comprehensive translation cheat sheets for negotiating with local component vendors, and a continuously updated list of our absolute favorite late-night noodle shops scattered around the Huaqiangbei district.
Typo! “where our stuff if made” should be “is made”! :D
Really looking forward to the tour of Seeed – I would also like to see where my stuff is made!
Thanks! Fixed.
Me too waiting for the video of Seeed.
just two nights of sleep…
