I think all you have to pay is 50 dollars and your dignity. But what's weird is that I think any prostitution is seperate from this Karaoke bar. I tell you man. strange. To a certain degree yes.

We have two of the machines up and running like champs. The third was indeed fried, but the replacement parts are all going to arrive after my departure. It will be someone elses duty to install them. More amazing than anything is that the ultra-complicated seam-tracking system is rocking out like none of us every expected. The two working pieces of equipment are tracking like crazy. Outside of a few wiring issues which were conquered relatively quickly, my designs have been an easy install. I'm having a pretty great time here. Don't really want to go home. we'll see if that changes soon. I'm bound to get sick of these Chinese buffet's sooner or later.

A decent part of this is because the customer somehow fried the junk out of one of these units (wiring melted, board fried, and they don't know why), which then required a complete control board recalibration. This might be easier if someone had taken down better test data for the unit, and by someone I mean me, who played the primary role in testing all 3 annealers. haHA! He might try to murder me when he gets back, I expect you all to testify at the trial. So it's definitely an uphill battle, in that the machines have to get to "basic functioning" mode, THEN Mike D. has to prove out his ultra-complicated seam-tracking system. I am soooo glad I'm not in China right now. I'll keep folks updated if anything more interesting comes my way. Word of mouth update:

After rocking so hard the Lil' Cuddler would take you 'backstage' for a personal 'encore'? I knew karaoke had a whole new meaning in Asian cultures but wow...

Though that is different from our American customs also. That is so, so wierd: the choosing a cuddler part, not the food part. Though that is different from our American customs also.
