Where there's a 100% markup on NA prices.
No seatbelts on Chinese taxis
But I do feel safer knowing the driver isn't wearing his either. Skin in the game.
Fluorescent light is an Asian hallmark
In my kitchen (in Canada), there are two sets of lightbulbs. One set is for the real Asians, and they're fluorescent to mirror mental asylums, schools and call centers. The other set is for everyone else who thinks these bright white lights are glaring and keep you upright on you desk. But then again, anything for efficiency.
My aunts house has only one set. They are all fluorescent.
My EM Financiers
We have a couple (4) MD's albeit of the life-saving variety and an associate at barcap HK.
Shanghai pork buns
The one in Richmond hill is actually slightly better.
Foreigner in china. Blocked from Facebook
Instant noodles were rolled out on my 13 hour flight from Toronto. Nothing like some mr. Noodle to get me in the mood for my upcoming 10-day trip to the mainland (with 2 days in hong kong). The new power plugs on the Boeing 777 made the thirteen hours bearable as I cranked out some exam blitz material. The Asians around me on the plane, now satiated by the instant noodles, pulled out their engineering/math/computer science degrees and evaluated my work from afar. I arrived in Beijing where the mob was divided between "foreigners" and "nationals". I went into the foreigners line.
En Chine
The only way to post to facebook appears to be via this blog. A few funny things. My grandparents/aunts house look...normal. And my first time seeing the new carbon $100 bill is halfway away from Canada. (but I noticed its only the Chinese that carry stacks of hundreds around). Screw visa/PayPal and its 2.9% transaction fees?
