Tin Man,
Where are you in China? I have spent almost 2 years working in Shanghai but am back now. Sure missed good food, hot women and my Cobra.

PS.... I agree about the ear plugs....My 522 motor at 10 feet registers 92 dba at idle and 116 dba at 2600 rpm.
That roughly translates to about 74 dba and 95 dba respectively at 80 feet away.
