In anticipation of the grand city showcase of no project is too big
for us to do (after consuming 100% of the earth's concrete and
creating the bigger construction site dust cloud ever), we are
starting to practice what our competing city of the North (airport
code: PEK) had done last year. Yes, putting X-Ray machines at major
subway stations as a trial security measure starting on the 25th of
this month. All major subway interchanges will have X-Ray machines
and people going in will have the bags scanned. Big or small. And if
you are are a courier, visual identification with your work ID is a
must. O how wonderful long the queue will be at rush hours at these
super hubs.
The river banks. Actually another mini-construction site all by
itself. You see nothing but bullies (bull dozers) and metal fences.
All for the glorious progress of egom**acs.
Someone wrote a really good article about real estate development. It
asked if we are buying at inflated price or buying at a "just" value.
The author basically said, people are buying at inflated price. It
was due to the gov't lax rule to stimulate economy. We are not out of
the wood yet so the buying is out of step. Basically because of the
stimulus packages, price in every sector will go up in the future. No
downward trend.
There was a guy complained that Best Buy here would not replace his
phone. That was after he dropped it into the water. He further
complained that Best Buy only gave him a replacement battery. Hey,
buddy it was not a manufacturer defect! It was an idiot defect. But
here, with low end education and small brain and not reading the "fine
prints" and twisted reasoning, things like this happens a lot.
Ridiculous. In Shanghai, price of residential apartment has gone up
50% in 6 months!
