Guangzhou Tourist Trap Tips by jackiesg Top 5 Page for this destination

If you ever travel to Zhu Hai and go to their big underground shopping mall, near the Zhu Hai custom to Macau, never never believe in 64G thumbdrive the shop attendent may be selling you. It is, 64G of fake thumbdrive.

We recently went to Zhu Hai and our friend was stopped by a shop attendent introducing him a 64G thumbdrive. Wow, 64G, that's hugh! The thumbdrive was even packed nicely and printed "SONY" on it. What's more, the attendent was charging him only RMB$300. Of course, as cautious travellers (haha, we thought we were cautious enough), we asked the shop attendent to test the thumbdrive. The attendent did test the thumbdrive on their shop's laptop and it did show 64G. My friend even asked him to download some files to see if the thumbdrive has the correct remaining drive space after downloading. All is accurate and perfect! What made my friend even happier is that he managed to bargain to RMB160 for the thumbdrive.

Sigh, we were disappointed and realised we were cheated only when we return home to test the thumbdrive in our own computer. The thumbdrive cannot even store a 2G file.

The shop attendent must have did something on their laptop to show the 64G.

So, becareful and when things seem too good to be true, think twice.

Unique Suggestions: Well, if you have your laptop with you, you should try out your computer purchase on your own laptop before buying.
