We went to Avilas El Ranchito today and McDonald’s yesterday. The days were sunny and warm when we talked about:

How to bargain in Chinese stores. Russell Peters explained it very well.
Alkaline Ionized Water purifier for drinking. It does not have healing powers.
Legal drinking age in the British Isle varies from 16-19 years old. Not fully enforced either. However, they’re strict on drunk drivers, with first offense punishable by jail time.
Housing slump, especially with condos.
Top Gear.
Government jobs are filled with whiny and lazy people, creating a hostile work environment.
The usefulness of remote offices. They are generally empty. Remote workers are usually out on business trips, or work from home.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans: avoid them!
