" _! }: T. O% F" N 我这算是现实版的北京人在纽约了。驾车驰骋在前往纽约的公路上,听着周杰伦的《兰亭序》...终于,纽约到了~ 我选择了时代广场,透过这里审视深陷次贷危机泥潭的美国大众
$ ^" Y& m2 a7 D: sthis is my version of Beijinger in NY. Driving on the highway to NY, listening to LANTINGXU from Jay Chou~ i took the time square as my first stop, where i could feel the current life of Yankees deeply affected by the so called subprime mortgage crunch.

there is a bronze ox standing along the wall street, showing the great expection of "bull market" in bourse. Touching it bodes well for your stock in the rest of the year. Rumer has it that Cantonese would like to tap the genitals of the ox with hope of their stock's appreciation, for in Cantonese, genitals pronounced like SHENGZHI, which indicates appreciation. I gave it a try. ]$ s! {6 y1 q0 O% r

6 U. l9 U- c) z8 q* L5 O9 Q有人可能会问了,美国的东西怎么会便宜呢,事实是,它确实很便宜,看到那家阿玛尼专卖了么,我看中了一件黑色纯羊绒风衣,价格270美金,在中国至少要卖到三千以上,在说说星巴克,在中国您要杯小的也得20来块,在美国,小杯的不到两美金,即使换成人民币也便宜很多,更何况,人家挣的也是美金,所以,就相当于你花1快多人民币买一杯星巴克,很是划算;其实要说便宜,那还得说是我们中国人最关注的车子,房子了,一台普通奔驰,4万美金左右,根据我到过的国家的经验,这个价格变化幅度不大,可我要重申的是,人家挣的是美金!就相当于我们用4万块人民币买辆奔驰,巨大生活差距不言自明。这个在这就不多说了,以后专门说吧~9 M) k( H$ _4 s' z- U8 j5 v4 V
people may ask: how come the american products cheaper than those in our country?in fact, they are. see that armani outlet across the street? i bought a pure fine wool coat with $270, which could cost you no less than 3000rmb in mainland China. a standard cup of starbucks coffee sold at $1.6, which is cheaper than that in China, but dont forget the american people makes bucks!those products will be much cheaper if you take that into consideration. Actually, consumer goods such as cars and houses clearly expose the huge gap of life standard between us and the people in developed countries. i am telling you that an ordinary unit mercedes c class auto is sold at around $40,000 and i have to reiterate that yankee makes bucks.
