Yep pay sucks.
Just a note, it is not always fair to do direct hourly comparisons for full time contracts, unless you look at the whole package, and weight other benefits.

Package for a full time gig usually includes
Retrurn flights
Visa (you often don't get this in PT work)
Paid holidays: odd days like DongWu, one month for spring festival.

Some places pay bonus (contrary to popular rumour I have never been stiffed on this one).
Some places accom included.
Some places accom allowance.
Some places even pay summer holidays (in full or a retainer) if you sign on for the following year.

Other benefits
Steady work, you know where you stand.
More job security
And in the public sector,
Most public schools/unis no weekends or evening classes.
Not having your schedule constantly changed,
Not having to cover for hung over colleagues who don't show.
Generally working in a more professional and collegiate atmosphere, with a less cranked up boss.

Like I said, pay sucks anyway. Some FT gigs can seem lower pay, but looking at the bigger picture most of my contracts have worked out about the same pay equiv (full package/hr) and the work is much less stressful.

Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
