Here here ! I too am sickened by the shitty jewelery and handbag shops springing up all over the place. Never ever do I see a customer inside them. Unless its me asking for the nearest toilet. Full Comment>>

Also, if you re banking with BoC, try their emergency service number hotline, dial 95566. The English is practically incomprehensible. Just saying. Full Comment>>

English is an international language of business. If i go to virtually anywhere in Europe, the average person at the counter speaks at least a decent level of English. They WANT our money. So they should at least learn. Especially in the so called international hubs like Shanghai dont you think? This isnt some small ... Full Comment>>

Yet another example of the great propaganda machine in a country where the foreign population represents about 0.07% of the population (800,000 as of mid2014) and even after extrapolation of all the brides and illegal foreigners from predominantly southeast asia, the number probably does not exceed too far over ...
