The Weirdchina Family Makes An Appearance In Shandong, Weifang, China 潍坊中国

Here is a sneak peak of the appearance the weirdchina family made in Weifang, China 潍坊 in Shandong Province 山东. Weifang is known as the kite capital of the world.

We received a very warm welcome, so many people greeted us and at times it felt like a mob! It's always a little weird, when people say they have seen us on a Chinese TV channel or in a local Chinese newspaper.

Networked and made some excellent connections, both business and personal, because of this,  I think we will be coming back here very soon to check out other potential money making opportunities.

Over the next couple of days, I will be adding more photos and videos to our blog at weirdchina.com - We saw lots of cool things here and we would love to share it all with you.
