How many stairs on the thousand step trail in the Dandenongs?
Since the reds cracked down on taking money out of the country, in my suburb there are individuals who act as banks. Lending money to other Chinese people to buy houses.

Around 770-780. Some 'steps' are very small, so may not count. It's still a good hike.
I count steps, both on stairs, and across roads, along paths, around the block. I'm just weird.

Are you sure the reds cracked down?Since the reds cracked down on taking money out of the country, in my suburb there are individuals who act as banks. Lending money to other Chinese people to buy houses.
Sounds like a good system.
Yeah, the Chinese government has put limits in how much individuals can take out of the country.
There's some Chinese already in Australia that have enough money here to personally lend it to others to buy houses.

Makes you wonder where the hell they get all that money? Especially given the exchange rate and the fact that China was in major poverty as little as 30 years a go. I get it is industrialised but too have that much cash. Amazing.

China is a nation of 1.4 billion people compared to our 25 million.
Their 1% is 14m people and that 1% controls around half the wealth of a country with an economy 8 or 9 times the size of hours. Our total immigration rate (let alone the portion from China) is nothing compared to that.
The average Chinese person has SFA. The rich have a lot and there are a lot of them.

Not my point. I mean that physical cash. And if you do the numbers they are extreme.

Bout 50k US p/a is the limit.
Also a lot of the 'lending' is- I give you 500k here today and your brother gives my brother $475k tomorrow in Shanghai.

I eat a packet of M&M's one colour at a time.
I eat 2 at a time and if there is an odd number of 1 colour, I eat that one on it's own first...
YES! There is something wrong with me!

You should try eating them in alphabetical order for something different.

Turn some of them upside down so you can distinguish the M's from the W's
