Just Where is Dongguan, China

So where are you in China? Just where is Dongguan? Many of you have asked, and I’ve tried to tell you. But let me give you a better way to visualize where I am.

But first, have you got Google Earth? It’s incredible! Downright addictive! Get it!

Just put in an address and as if you were on a magic carpet, you’re transported across the globe to an altitude directly overhead to stare down at that exact location. Put in your address and see for yourself. Soon you will be looking right down on the roof of your home. Don’t go waving out a window or running out with your wireless laptop to see yourself on the screen. It’s not live.

This type software has been around for a while, but Google has now ended up with it. They musta bought the software. It is better than the old version. The way you get transported across the globe is really cool.

So how do you find Dongguan with Google Earth? Not by putting in my address – addresses don’t work for China. And don’t even waster your time with “Dongguan, China” – you’ll end up in another Dongguan, China in the northern part of the nation.

But here is how you get to my Dongguan, China. First, of course, you must have Google Earth. Download and install if you don’t. You will love it. Then put in Guangzhou, China, and get transported around the globe to the city formerly known as Canton. Now zoom out and watch for “Dongguan” to appear as a city to the right. Double-click on it and you will be transported to my Dongguan City!!

Enjoy!
