Betcha Can't Tell the Difference is the Wuxi China Expatdom's Best Disguise Design Company




Many Expats who come to the Wuxi China Expatdom do so to escape a shameful past.  Many Wuxi China Expats, if forced to return to their home countries, would either be put in hand-cuffs or would have responsibilities to face up to, like children or taxes.

It is for these reasons and the Wuxi China Expatdom's new spirit of Gorzo entrepreneurship that the Wuxi China Expatdom is the disguise company capital of the world.  Ten of the world's leading makers of disguises, whether for personal, industrial, or governmental use, are located in the Wuxi China Expatdom in a undistinguished-looking part of Wuxi's Beitang District.  The Wuxi China Expatdom is, of course, their biggest market.

Most of these companies prefer to keep their low profile, but one night a year, the Harry Moore Cup award ceremony night, they make a public appearance, of sorts.  All members of the WCE disguise industry, come out to see which company will win the prestigious Harry Moore Cup, awarded to the WCE disguise company which does the best job of hiding their clients' true identities.

The 2011 ceremony was held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of Gambay's Pub in the 1912 Bar District of Wuxi, China.  However, many attendees expecting an award ceremony setup in the Pavilion were surprised to see a hockey rink and a game featuring the Hershey Bears and the Adirondack Phantoms.  It was all part of the disguise.

Chuck Barris, President of the Wuxi China Expatdom Disguise Company Association (WCEDCA), said it simply the WCEDCA's way of disguising itself.  "We know that police forces, the world over, are keen to see who we are, and so of course we can't let them."

The game between the Hershey Bears and the Adirondack Phantoms was the WCEDCA's way of picking its 2011 Industry Champion.  Hershey won the game four-three in a thrilling game that needed three periods of overtime to determine a winner.

As soon as the game ended, the Betcha Can't Tell the Difference owner Sam Betcha accepted the Harry Moore Cup (disguised as the Calder Cup) from WCEDCA President Chuck Barris who was wearing a gorilla suit.  

Betcha and his staff posed for a photo with the Harry Moore Cup before heading off to the Wuxi China Expatdom's Mason Lodge for a celebration party.
