Flying to Beijing - Shopping for Knock-Offs

Found an good article all about one shopper’s experience in the Chinese street markets like the Pearl Market and the Silk Market in Beijing, and the street markets in Shanghai.


This shopper tells of the atmosphere and the haggling process in the Chinese knock-off markets. You can almost image yourself there as he and his wife shop for knock-off purses, golf equipment, Swiss watch replicas, etc.

Bobcat Parts For Sale

I’ve been looking for some Bobcat parts for my skid steer in Alberta. I found this site at zazbot.com which seems to be a general shopping site. Anyone know others that are better. Looking for a good deal.

PTN Freedom Training Com

This is from the PTN freedom training web site.



"Just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my new venture with Pro Travel Network.
 
I needed a room in Red Deer.  So in looking around I got a room priced at $159.00 for $84.00.   What an incredible savings!
 
Being my own travel agent will save me money and pay for itself in no time, whether I book for others or not.
Thank You Sheila for bringing this to my attention.
 
I'll keep you informed on any further great deals I'll be making in the future."
Thank you for the PTN freedom training web site

Travel Agent Rates at the Fairmont Edmonton
Just wanted to let you know I had the opportunity to stay at the Fairmont Hotel in Edmonton this weekend. Following Mr. Anil Ramcharitar's testimonial about his trip last November, I did the Fairmont course and booked as a travel agent....got a room with 2 beds for $109, including an extended check-out of 2 pm!! My son Darin was singing at the Winspear Centre in Edmonton and it
was going to be a late night and an early morning, so we usually spend a
night at a hotel. Our usual stay at the Holiday Inn Express was going to
cost $145....and the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald was an amazing property to be on....you should have seen the fitness centre, sauna, steam room and pool....fabulous!


Love PTN freedom training dot com.

Free Blogs That Are Easy

INteresting, as I have been using Blogger mostly in the past, but I’m looking for alternatives to Blogger and Wordpress. Some free blog service with no advertising would be best.


een doing some research into free blog services. But more than that, I’ve been looking for some blog services that are free And easy to use. Blogger and Wordpress, but I want a free blog service that allows my advertising on it.


I’ll be posting a list of these free blog services in the posts coming up before the new year.

Watstat Site Like Wikipedia

You can see there are allot of other webmasters who are trying to build their own Wiki sites these days. My favorite Wiki platform is DokuWiki, and there are others using exactly the same software as Wikipedia.


A good example is this site, called Watstat. They use the Wikipedia software platform for their site. Interesting to me anyway.


I think Watstat is supposed to mean “What’s That?” Hmmm…

WARNING! 3 Day Toontown Trial Download

The 3 day Toontown Trial Download is like an addiction worse than crack (so I read today) 


The kids download the 3 day Toontown trial download last week and it was allot of fun. The kids loved it and so did I. Quite addictive I must say. I now have the kids begging me to subscribe to Disney on a monthly basis.


You can download the 3 day trial for Toontown here. Be careful though. Once the kids get hooked your going to be “on the hook” for a monthly payment if they get it their way. I’ll sign up for a month or two until the kids get bored with it.


Watch out for those nasty “computer screen eyes”, all blurry and bloodshot.

Pro Travel Network Agent Review

Found this extremely detailed post on becoming a travel agent with Pro Travel Network


Brent (aka Terry) brings up some invaluable points in regards to getting setup as home-based travel agent. I like the part in particular where he gives you a link from his site to your Pro Travel Network site.
