Doing Business in China

It's amazing, really.  I can sit in my bedroom, run a search on Alibaba or GlobalSources, and get into contact with companies on the other side of the world.  Even as a college student running a business out of my bedroom, I have access to the same global companies that major corporations have access to.  I can easily find a company that produces the exact items that I need (IR band-pass filters and lenses, in this case...), order them, and have them at my house inside of a week.  The world has definitely changed.

The biggest downside is that their day begins when mine ends, so that if I want to get anything done quickly I have to stay up late.  Like tonight.
