More money? ha ha ha

I taught Accounting at the university level and amazed my fellow Chinese professors how little I was paid. I enjoyed teaching tremendously. The pay was not important.

laotou: I'll agree to prostitution, works for me. I give my time and skills for what the going rate.

I started at $6 for a 12 hour day picking crops. I hit a high of $250 hour doing consulting for a six month gig. State of California insisted I get paid time and a half cuz I billed more than 40 hours a week. Prostitution works for me.

Then a came to China.

Starbucks, KFC, McDs, and Pizza Hut and other "foreign" companies abide by Chinese law. Specifically, labor and smoking laws as such "foreign" companies are easily targets for enforcement. The quality of the food is of personal taste.

Rhino horn is not ivory. Rhino is mostly keratin, like finger nails and hair. It is ground into a powder, then boiled in water for use in TCM. Many aliments are treated with rhino horn. It is not used as an aphrodisiac.

Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.

I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.

The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.

Last week had an 8:45am flight.

Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.

Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.

Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.

Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

World Class Airport, NOT!

Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.

Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.

I'm going to try to make it.

Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
