SparkFun made a second trip to Shenzhen, China. Seeed Studio is located here, as well as some impressively massive electronics markets:
After checking out a handful of factories on the geek tour in 2009, it was time for me to return to China to visit some of the factories that make goods for SparkFun.
…half the trip was about meeting vendors, the other half was about geeking out and seeing how neat stuff is made.
We’re planning a trip this fall. Anyone else interested?
Just say when. I am only about 1 hour away from Hong Kong.
i would so love to go, anyone wish to fund me (i’m poor)
Its a dream of mine to go, however small issue i’m very scared of planes :(
I keep looking in the travel agents in our towns Chinese quarter every few days, oh well maybe one day :)
It is only 15 hr from west coast of the USA and 12 hr from EU
BTW the visa for a USA citizen is $130 USD
I hope to be in Shanghai at that time, and really hope I can join you.
I’m only 30 minutes away.
