i've got bloomberg in my hotel in beijing but since the times are completely backwards i see all futures action. interesting market and luckily i've been able to mess around wiht my portfolio here, doubled my gold position just before i left and its keeping the rest of my holdings above water. Still watching the VIX...

maidanglao, aka mcdonalds is definitely nicer here than in the U.S., also quite popular and about the same prices as the us, same with KFC although there is some cheap stuff there. the insides of the places are extremely clean and significantly nicer.
I've already been to most of the hot spots here and a corona here is 5 usd in any good club, and bud is the same price, even in grocery stores [both are 1.15 usd there].
fortunately i speak chinese or the prices would be even worse. while i was sitting around they would charge any non chinese speaker 2-4 times the regular price.

it's more pleasant here than in houston, that's for sure. I stopped by all the yum brand stores here since thats why i own the stock. the pizza hut was the most impressive, it's very trendy and quite pricey. Two friends and i had a typical meal there for 72 yuan each, about 10 usd. ill take a picture of that place if i get a chance.

I'm surprised that Pizza Hut hasn't up their prices since 95. Last time my uncle was in China, a personal size pizza was 70 Yuen. How is Star Bucks doing in China? I'm just wondering if it's doing any good because Chinese people aren't into Coffee much.
Sahtt are you going to visit Hong Kong or Maccu?
