Suburb of China

[Mick]

Not sure why or what this means but thought I would share, went to an old watering hole in Eastwood last night, if you had been drugged and dropped there, you would think you were in Beijing, hundreds of Chinese everywhere, spending big time in the bars and restaurants, got talking to the bar manager, he told me there are almost 10,000 Chinese here working for an online casino, they have purchased a 50 story building and its full of accommodation and offices, his gross sales have gone from 1.2m per month to 2.5m, they are working 3 shifts constantly, a little later I got talking to one of the Chinese guys, and he confirmed the above, also they will start to open some casino resorts, I asked why they are here, if at the moment it's all online, they could do it from China, he could not answer, but after a few beers told me that he was here as salary was 200,000 peso a month with free housing, in China, he was only getting 100,000 peso. So what's it all mean...... Oh. And the bar manager told me, sometimes they have requested the whole bar reserving paying 100,000 peso to keep all tables free for when a shift ends....

The next thing you know they will complain that they feel unsafe and the locals are threatening them so the Chinese army will move in to protect them.
