I'm trying to imagine a Chinese tour group entering a museum in a western country that has a suggested donation for entrance. Once someone figures out that they don't HAVE to pay anything I'm imagining the stampede of locusts entering dumbfounded at why anyone else is paying. Though I'm guessing they'd be in and out ...

The official incomes of doctors are lower than their true take home pay - the more senior the doctor the more true this is. I know lots of doctors in China due to my work and some freely admit to taking hongbaos from patients. Often the younger doctors don't get to keep them and they go to department heads. I know ...
