I stay at a nice little hotel in Beijing for $43USD a night. However, during
the Olympics, they have raised their rates ten times to $430USD a night. The greed of the Chinese is amazing! It is also showing up in the price for their products. As an importer who does a lot of business with China, I am beginning to abandon the practice. I can now buy many items cheaper in EUROPE! Wake up Chinese! You will LOSE the American market if you don't stop your greed! "MI" wrote in message ...

Our newspapers quoted a travel agent saying they advising their clients not to go to Beijing during the Olympics because the rooms are costing the equivalent of CAD$1200 per night. -- Martha Canada |
