This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

If to demand bribes is customary in a country, then what sorts of people and businesses want to conduct business in that country?

Thrift is one good characteristic that Chinese descendants are apt to have.
Let's hope the ongoing sweep of spending on credit cards in China won't change that thrift much.
When RIM began to lose the U.S. market, they handed their company to fatalism. It's that straightforward.
No offence, a Blackberry sold in Indonesia does't mean the same thing as a Blackberry sold in the U.S. Not at all.

Country-level politics seems to be very complicated. Much much more complicated than the province-level politics.
