Money, Money, Money

I have certainly use the word "money" a lot more now than I did in Toronto. In China, it seems that everybody is engaged in a business of trying to get the money from your pocket to theirs, with reasons or without. People are so eager and they don’t confine themselves with limits set upon them.

I was talking to my friend who is also from Toronto about the situation while she was pulling out of the Carrefour’s parking lot. I looked at the guard at the entrance and said, “He has probably found a way to make extra money somehow.” My friend immediately confirmed my speculation. The guy who collects fees on a parking lot was bribed by her friend with extra money so that he would reserve a spot every morning. With a bit more money and imagination, you don’t need to be an early bird.

Such is the society we live in. It’s a price to pay for having such a dynamic economy.
