. Shopping for an audio system - got a quote back from the brother-in-law in Guangzhou. Ballpark figure around ¥100,000, which (~$16,000USD) is only a little less than what we paid for our parking space. There is one audiophile shop in Yulin, which sells excellent quality systems w/HDMI support (six speakers, a receiver, and a blu-ray player) for around $1000-$2000, so we may just go with them as long as their receivers speak English. Their signature brand is Seignior - a Taiwanese brand. There are also shops around town that sell professional-quality karaoke/PA-type systems for under $1000, but it seems like you get what you pay for there. I also found out that when the wife said, "Wait until after New Year", she meant the CHINESE New Year. . . http://www.chinafamilyvisa.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/w0kuae.gif
