I live in pnr renting house, one aprtment near my company. I share one apartment and nathroom, not sleeping room, with my workmates. They married.
My workmates live all over the city. Some take bus,some have motorbike, some have their car,some ride bike, of course some walk on foot. Sometime I have food that they cook in home. I can make some food. Sometime I have food in company. Of course I often go out to eat, like Chinese food, KFC and other fast food. As you know Chinese like food so I can easily get food. Just this year, Cantonese can easily go to Hong Kong because the Conton and HK government make one law to development. But we must have one residence ID card or passport. I still cannot go because I have no Conton ID card and passport. |

What do people do on their days off? Where do they go on dates? Do people keep pets?

In fact, I am a minor "White Collar". In my company I guess the Blu Collar salary is about $100 - $220.
My expenditure/month: Food:$40 House rent: $40 Trafic:$50 Book:$30 Internet:$15 Sometimes I am afraid that I am tied on money. I have to cut down my food fare to buy books. They can go out to hike, travel. Or have a family dinner/lunch. Watch movies, operas, KTV.. Now we have many selections to relax. I don't know where they go for dating. I often go to restraunts, film... We can bring up pets. |

Chinese university students take an oath to enter the Communist Party at exhibition called "Jing Gangshan Spirit" in Beijing aimed at promoting the Chinese Communist Party November 15, 2003. Jing Gangshan is the first Communist military base in China. The late chairman Mao Zedong and his "Autumn Harvest Army" arrived in Jing Gangshan, a massive mountain ranges lying between the provinces of Jiangxi and Hunan, in October 1927 and joined forces there with another rebel group called "Insurrection Army of August 1".

Two unidentified men shoot a performance of Guanyin (Buddhist Goddess of Mercy) with a thousand arms at the Putuo Mountain in Zhoushan, east China's Zhejiang Province, Sunday, Nov. 16, 2003. The First South Sea Guanyin Cultural Festival of Putuo Mountain, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, opened Sunday, during which a series of cultural, tourism and religious activities will be held.

From what I've read, names that begin with "Mc" appear to be of Scottish origin and historically refer to the son of someone. For example, "McDonald" means "son of Donald."

Don't worry about it Billy, Mc- only appears in proper names and they have no meaning in English, only derivation or where they originated. Unlike Chinese In English a persons name only means the identity of that person.
