i live in asia 1/2 the year and i am very curious about this statement. could you elaborate? in general, i have found returning anything in asia is difficult- much less getting cash back after paying with credit.

maybe it's different in PRC, but in Thailand or Malaysia, it's kinda a 'you bought it, you own it- choose carefully because you're not bringing it back' mentality. where, pray tell, are you talking about? and, could i trouble you for an example?
