In some of the discussions above, terms are being used synonymously and inadvertently creating false impression, leading to false discussion.
I think it is important to make a distinction between graft, and guanxi.
Although the two might be connected sometimes.
If there is no guanxi, there may be a need to bribe people to get things done. This is only one form of corruption.
If there is lots of guanxi, with the right connections, there may be no need to bribe people, but some other form of reciprocity would be expected, or others may worry about consequences for not assisting (two other forms of corruption).
Face, guanxi, and graft can be connected. However, to have a clear discussion, without ambiguity, it would help to keep the terms separate unless needed.

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.
