mburg 1984....???
Have any of you
really been there?

1. Didn't know that....
2. No that's not true! You're only limited by how much you spend!
3. I took as many pictures as I wanted to.
4. Corporate spies perhaps since everyone wants to make money.
5. The air is not THAT bad but they do need improvement.
China has a long way to go in a lot of areas but it's far different than you think....
Would George Orwell's 1984 have spies selling Maserati Quattorportes and F430 F1's!!!!!
