"I suppose they thought that Chinese would just use their US$ to go on trips to Disneyland and watch US movies and stuff. Of course some of the US$ will go on buying CDMA cyberphones, but people only need 3 or 4 of those." They are stealing the movies and your CDMA technology - why buy what you can STEAL? I have asked several local developers and realtors here in the clearwater area where are all the asians buying up property - I asked several local tour people where all all the asian coming to see mickey mouse and the florida beaches and take diving trips with the manatees? Or maybe buy some Persistant Dali paintings. They said they dunno - germans and brits and russians and mexicans are flooding in but those slants actually think that money is worth something more than a day at epcot or a nice time getting eat by sharks at the florida beach during red tide. I go to some of the more expensive restaurants, the mexicans working the floor and kitchen, germans and brits ordering the food next to the yankees - but not a slant in sight. Couple local thai restaurants, have to get some latinos to do the work - no thais coming in - for shame too because I want to repeat slagles success. Yesterday at sams wholesale I saw a russian family, asked him how long he had been here (and unlike the mexicans I meet he could actually speak english) - said about a year - liked it very much - he could never buy those EXTRA LOW bulk prices back home in russia - the family was loading up on the mega bulk packages of food - I said DUDE - you don't have to buy like that in america - this is the land of plenty - half that stuff will go stale before you can eat it all - then I read that link from the tsunami how when children starve they horde thier whole life - being wasteful. Now unlike most of the american guys with kids in the store who were toting them - he made his wife tote both kids and do all the cart pushing and picking up groceries - like he was supervising you know. He had a cute seemingly beat down wife and 2 kids - I predict about another year of good western american excess for her before she gets tired of his BS and goes independant - either that or he better start toting the kids.
