This thread is so derailed, so what the h311, here is a short China story.
A friend of mine just got back from China, and shared a few stories about how hard these people work.
One story, shortly after he got there he saw a man riding a bike with huge garbage bags , puffed up all around the bike,,, "You could barley see the rider" so asking his interpreter what that was about, he got the explanation that that would be a "single" guy, no wife,,,, as the garbage bags were carrying either propane "LP" or natrual-gas, and the bags would be hooked up to a gas burner to cook his meals. The explanation continued that if he had a wife, she would cook by snapping kindling or firewood during the day, a single man, working a lot of hours would rather save the time and burn "LP" Mexicans or Americans, would not do that here, I was impressed by stories of China's workers!
