I like dealing with mainland China migrants here. They are sharp, smart, entrepreneurial. Item: a Chinese metal repair shop welded the broken steel swinging metal base of a nice expensive leather chair for $20 cash while I waited. Took about 15 minutes. Nice job, too. Item: I buy kitchen items like pots, pans, brooms, gadgets, from a Chinese restaurant supply house at wholesale prices to everyone. Restaurant quality is good quality. The other restaurant supply house in Northern Virginia won't let you even enter the place without a wholesale license. Item: Chinese restaurants that cater to ethnic Chinese have two menus, one for Americanized glop, one for Chinese. When I order off the Chinese menu, the food is excellent. Fresh meat, fresh vegetables, no sugary syrup, no greasy fried coating. Fun to watch my Chinese step-mother ordering. It seems to be confrontational, but the back-and-forth is entertaining. I will be on the lookout for Chinese shoe repair and other such things. I eat my lunch at my desk, then drive around during lunch time looking for interesting shops in the warehouse district around my office. Not to single out the Chinese, I have had good experiences with immigrants from India, Viet Nam, Korea, and Latin America. Americans don't know how to fix things anymore.
