<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1136654, member: 3011&quot;]So do I.&nbsp; A coworker of mine came over just a few years ago.&nbsp; She had an accounting job in China.&nbsp; A company bus would pick her up at 5am for the three hour ride to the office.&nbsp; She worked from 9 to 9 six days a week, then got back on the bus for the 3 hour ride home.&nbsp; After getting home around midnight, she tried to get a few hours of sleep before getting up to catch the bus again at 5am.&nbsp; She told me that many days, she was so tired that she fell asleep at her desk.&nbsp; She lived with her husband and his parents in a one bedroom apartment.&nbsp; Now, she is only in her 30s so this isn&#039;t ancient history.&nbsp; My company does business there. I don&#039;t know a lot about the operation, but I know there are a lot of hidden costs imposed by the government, such as forcing our company to maintain a large office in a city of their choosing [to keep down the vacancy rate] even though we don&#039;t conduct business there.&nbsp; Some people in China are no doubt doing better than this, but nobody should doubt how bad it is for the average person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
