  5. Get above the 8th floor (where elevators are required in China) or maybe you like a billion stairs... my wife says the first few floors have as features, salesmen knocking on your doors all the time, street noise!!, thieves, people off the street wandering in taking anything in sight and using the halls and stairs as toilets / sex places / etc., first floor has the good old security probs too plus peepers and flooding, heat rises so the bottom is also the coldest, gated community or not

  10. Profitable business is fine but "3.7% profit margin comes entirely from the baggage and change fees" and more planned increases tells me that they think their administrative costs are well and fine so why not stick it to the customers to pay for them more? Kind of makes you feel sorry for the head of United Airlines whose salary fell to $7.9 mil. "Compared to many other U.S. industry CEOs, airline CEOs maintain that they're relatively underpaid. Airlines state that they pay relatively high CEO salaries in order to attract top executive performers. The AFL-CIO website says that in 2011, average U.S. CEO compensation was more than $5.03 million. In comparison, then, the U.S. airline CEO compensation average of $3.5 million is a bit below average. The average 2011 income of all U.S. occupations was about $34,000."

Japanese apologies have been rebuffed by most because of wording and lack of legal repercussions. Washington Coalition for Comfort Women Issues notes the use of a word Owabi, not Shazai, in those Japanese apologies. The coalition said, "the expression owabi in Japanese in most cases means a sense of apology slightly weightier than an Excuse me."
  15. Thanks so much, I have asked the new employer and I will report back.
  16. Philippine gov't sends condolences to family of Taiwanese fisherman killed by its coast guard This is just not cutting it... it's a very good thing their investigations are ongoing, they're on the clock.
