  1. your rankings are incorrect,they are state school rankings. shanghai students are the best of the best. all have private tutors as they are the richest families in china, the public school system is weaker than thailand. it is a two tier system, its kind of like saying harvard students are smart. it is a true statement but how they got there is a different story,it is not the "system" that got them there, the china system is geared to produce factory workers, not thinkers.

  2. i pay my rent every month to the same girl in the managers office of my apartment. it is near the same amount every month, water & elect account for the changes. on purpose i change up the bills i pay her with. 5's, 50's,100's ect.sometimes a total of 16 bill. i try not to smile but its hard to keep a straight face. first the old timey pull register totals up the bill count, then the phone calculator,then the desk calculator, then pen & paper calucations.she carefully writes down the total from each device used. all the numbers must match or she starts the whole process over again, right back to counting the bills again. all of this takes abount 20-26 minutes depending on her own corrections.she is a very nice young lady & is always kind and willing to talk, but is dumb as a box of rocks. her education,she has a degree in international studies, what ever that is. next month i will surprise her & pay the rent with just 8 bills maybe make her smile :-)
