American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai and the search for Aesthetics

US Chamber of Commerce released a survey conducted with Booz Allen Hamilton that found rising costs in China. High cost of living is known in the USA as well. I resent folks somewhere on earth who think status symbols are more important than doing eleemosynary works for less fortunate people in the world. I trust good folks would share such thoughts.

Express Paper,a publication of the Washington Post: 10.10.2008 Friday on page E6: Styles Section: --

The ideas of really dressing your boudoir(sitting room or lady's bedroom) in rich colors and dressing your boudoir in rich colors and dress-maker fabrics propelled Rockville entrepreneur/design fiend Mei Xu to found Blissliving Home. Xu who moved to New York City from China in 1991, trained as a journalist and diplomat. But her disappointment with the US decor market made her rethink her career. "When I moved here, I walked to Bloomingdale's almost every night," she says. "There was fun,ready-to-wear, but no fun,contemporary home products." "People want for something different," she says. "Your bedroom can be an extension of your personality."

Here is another evidence of Sino-American Economics in action for all bedrooms. Hehehahahoho all the way and we shall live to be centenarians.

Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao,a learner for beauty, a student of aesthetics. Perhaps such goal would be the common pursuit of Americans and Chinese alike.
