Shenzhen, October 2000
Me (thru an interpreter): How much do you earn here as a factory operator?
Chinese guy: (after conversion) Around USD30 per month.
Me: And you work 5 days a week?
CG: No, I only get 2 days off a month.
Me: 2 days? That's all?
CG: I don't mind. There's nothing else to do here. I'm here to make money to go work in Shanghai.
Me: Why Shanghai? Can you earn more there?
CG: Yes, that's why I take English classes at night. I can earn three times as much if I can speak English there.
Me: Do you go back to your village often?
CG: No, only once a year for Chinese New Year.
Me: How far is it from here?
CG: By bus, it'll take 5 days.

But before long, the electronic screens invade every corner of your life. There’s a name for this tragic and extremely annoying condition: Screen Addiction. But there is hope. Send an intervention to someone you care about! Help them take the...

Friend: Do you remember what our friend drives now?
Me: Not sure. Might be an E series.
Friend: What the hell is that?
Me: Huh? What did I say?
Friend: E series. What the hell is an E series?
Me: *laughs* Oh shit. E class, I meant E class.
Friend: Don't you give me any of your Bimmer shit now. You'll never convert me, I'll always be a Merc man!
