Last evening I met my former boss for dinner. His responsibility had increased tremendously since we last worked together. He is now taking care of technology for international sites outside of US. Naturally, China is one of the focal point.

We chatted the usual. From business to online ideas, friends and former colleagues, life here and back home.

At the end of dinner, he picked up the bill. And this was what blown me away.

We ate through a month’s pay worth of dinner! ￥1200 That’s how much we had eaten. A month’s pay for me and some of those working for me. Imagine that.

I felt a little depressed. If only I’m still working… I shook it off.

By the way, if you are conversant with Chinese and English, he is looking for an MIS director to be based in Beijing. The company is a major online company. Drop me a note and I can make the intro.
