Rusell Peters' Quote

"Chinese people and Indian people cannot do business together because Indian people can't get along without a bargain, and Chinese people cannot give you a bargain. Their objective is to get every penny from you. And ours is to keep every penny. There's a really bad power struggle there. I went to this Chinese mall. Some of you may know it - Pacific Mall. That's the wrong place for an Indian guy to go. I saw this bag; I want to buy this bag, I go to the Chinese guy behind the counter, 'How much?' He goes, [(In a Chinese accent)] 'Thirty-five dollars.' 'Um, How 'bout thirty?' And Chinese people will never tell you no. They'll tell you "no," the longest "no" you heard in your life, like you just said the most ridiculous thing they ever heard in their life. 'I'll give you thirty.' [(In a Chinese accent)] 'No-oooo. No-oooo. I can't do thirty dollars. I sell you thirty dollars today tomorrow you come I close down.'...[(In a Chinese accent)] 'Ok. You seem like nice guy. I give you best price. Thirty-four fifty.' I'm like, 'That's fifty cents, man.' [(In a Chinese accent)] 'Fifty cents is a lot of money. You save fifty cents here then maybe you somewhere else and you save another fifty cents, then you have one dollar. Then you take your dollar, you go to the dollar store, you buy something else.'"

Hiking

Went hiking on Friday with the census team. We went to two trails: one is the San Andreas Fault Trail in Los Trancos Open Space Preserve; the other is the Stevens Creek Nature Trail in Monte Bello Open Space Preserve.
