People Getting Ripped Off Make Me Laugh
Being ripped off, otherwise being fooled into giving too much for something that is worth too little, is commonplace in today’s life. One can be ripped off when one buys insurance, gasoline, food, and even schooling.
The thing is, in China getting ripped off is something that not everyone realizes, but I do. Take, for example the $80 buffet in Sheraton. Down the street one can eat a hardy sushi meal for half the price and skip out on the bland pieces of bread so artistically situated and the inconceivably mild flavors of the fried rice. Newcomers to China are often duped into eating at their hotel of residence, and while doing so in places like Japan won’t make too much difference, Chinese cities have much to offer in the way of food that large international hotels simply cannot understand.
Nearby where I reside, there is a hotel for local Chinese. There they serve dim sum “dian xing” in the mornings, and all types of food imaginable at lunch and in the evening. At first I thought they had an aquarium when I walked in, turns out they eat each and every species swimming in the glass containers. Eel, turtle, snapping turtle, shrimp, and lots of variety of fish. This place is even cheaper, where one can get a fufilling dim sum breakfast for less than $7. If you don’t know what dim sum is, they are basically steamed “things” if you will that are handmade and quite tasty.
Oh yes, and the city where I reside also has upscale malls larger than any in the state where I am from. In them one will find Gucci, Omega, etc. to fufill ones need for luxury items. Personally, I find $20,000 purses a decadent waste of money that could have better be used traveling or investing in the currently cheap stock market.

Is there any way to know whether an Excel file is already in use by another user, on a LAN network.

I‘m sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I’m also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past …but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!
