<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2631640, member: 51347&quot;]Yeah, pretty amazing.&nbsp; There is a major land port between Russia and China right at the tip of Mongolia.&nbsp; An internal Port City called Manzhouli.&nbsp; I have been there and have seen an unbelievable amount of raw materials and product that flows through there.&nbsp; Including wood, gas, metals, and all kinds of raw materials from Russia.&nbsp; Finished product flows from China&#039;s manufacturing back into Russia.&nbsp; I understand Russia exports mammoth tusks that they harvest in northern Siberia as raw material to China to process.&nbsp; China hand carves them into various figurines.&nbsp; Nice stuff.&nbsp; I understand that within the last 10 years, this has been slowed / stopped due to the scarcity of the tusks / mammoth ivory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you see why I did not get one?&nbsp; (besides, ahem, the expense...)&nbsp; That would have been fun to have carried onto a plane back to the States... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
