Bro Mars883,

I'm a firm believer of paying or paying back what i get. I will never take advantage of those gals, it's good for our karma. Moreover, thru many experiences I have found that those free ones always finally turn out to be the more expensive. hee..hee... may be I 'm lousy at handling free things.

The story is to reaffirm yr point that these Shanghainese really no kum cheng even among the Chinese themselves. They all knew it. I have a few business Shanghainese associates...thru the years I have experience some of their "mercenaries" and petty attitudes and heard many of their "funny" stories.... We can talk about it if we happen to have kopi together.

Cheers
