Dragon Mart - what's the latest?

Just curious what the latest news is on the construction of Dragon Mart. And how folks feel about the eminent Chinatown in the midst of the Riviera Maya..

And the issue is?
5000 direct jobs (not including the Chinese force)
150 million dollar investment.

I think there's going to be a significant reduction in the posts "mule needed...".

Odds are Dragon Mart is going to have what you need, and cheap.

Are they moving dirt yet?

5000 direct jobs, for how long, just during construction? Wokers will flood in for those jobs, once the construction is over where will they go? Back to their towns and villages? Probably not. What will they do once construction is over with?

Last post on the Dragon Mart's Facebook page was four months ago. It should be ready about the same time as the new airport in Tulum, IMO.

Would that be before or after the PDC bowling alley?

Considering this is a undertaking by the Chinese, and the US has invested $150 m, do you think its on par with the airport, etc?
