Q: What's the single biggest purchase you've made in China?
I was thinking about this last time I returned home. It occured to me I rarely if ever bought anything in China, at least nothing worth much cash. Probably my cell phone for 1000 RMB. That's it.
Sattelite TV - 1800rmb - have not regretted it ever since.
My mouth fixed correctly. Got rid of whatever was left, got me a full set of implants, paid 17,600 Rmb and fresh and happy as a cucomber !. Do not regret one second of it.
crimochina:
may i ask you got it done on the mainland? hurts more than a root canal?
HappyExPat:
It was done on the 5th Floor of People's Hospital in Nanning, by the Head Dentist there, Dr Po. It did not hurt much, used injections at gums. Maybe the needle for the injection hurt more than what I felt afterwards. But the implant itself does hurt a little bit after pain killers wore out, not much do. To me, it was very much worth the disconfort.
QQ Car. With tax, insurance, and whatever other miscellaneous fees were added...about 40,000 rmb. The card swipe seemed kinda big that day...
scooter, paid 2800y, had been pricing, friends said GF good at bargaining, first one she liked colour of was average low price (white- I hate white), I want to keep looking because it makes vendors hungry and I know I would've bargained more, I buy scooter, Italian style 800W , 20A (got what I want), thought it was a bit big for GF, so I drove it one day and she's had it all week,,,I'm thinking I'll get the biggest Italian style scooter for myself and not tell her, but either way I'll hear about spending my money.
TedDBayer:
yes, see the red neg,, i wanted a RED scooter, this must be a sign to go out and buy my own scooter,,again

Thakkudu:
For the f***ers who pressed dislike.... Pls. Explain the reason...
derek:
Well, for starters, what is "expeced?" The question was about purchases. You know, paying money for stuff. Thumbs down for not understanding the question.
Thakkudu:
Well derik.. the answer is what i purchased in china.. first one bought 3 yrs back... second one just ordered..... well paid money from my pocket to purchase... whats wrong?
Buying car is not "biggest purchase" ?
A 1600rmb medical bill which would have been otherwise free on the NHS...
Canon EOS 60D camera 8000rmb...for my wife
For me....Reebok composite hockey stick from Canada..1200rmb...Bauer skates, bought and paid for in China, much cheaper....strange land we live in.
My prized possesion: one of those cool "Royqueen, Katiusha" black, music boxes that you stick a usb in, 200rmb. That's all I really need.
