Thanks. I needed that. As a professional writer and editor, I'm hopeful the Chinese won't be able to take my job away.

$205 in shipping!- this must be a special code that foreign spies use. Perhaps it's not really a bike...

He does say that if you are looking for anything else in his country, he'll do his best to find it. How about a new IBM Thinkpad for cheap from the Lenovo factory 
and if you need any other special items please contact me and i would like to do my best to help you to find it from our country .

Looks like someone used a translation website without bothering to check the accuracy with someone in the know.

That's great.
I think this will help with the technical part of the explanation.

Oh ****...this is soo funny....
As an asian who grew up in Asia (sorry guys, my mother tongue was English), I have to say that was some bit of Chinglish, whatever the hell it was, I hope it make sense to him/her
Could the culprit be some bad Chinese-English translation program?

As 1st gen Filipino (I assume that product meant that it was a Philippine export), I'm totally OFFENDED!
They have it all wrong, it's not "Donkey Friend", it's "Monkey Friend".
