My gas bill was like 40 yuan, that's around 3 dollars. I'd say that's ONE good reason to have communism among a million others that suck.

Beijing is freezing though. -12 degrees, I have a cold right now.

oh man, capitalism is so great: my gas bill is free! on the other hand, I pay over 1700 US dollars for a one bedroom apartment, and the power companies in nor-cal are getting ready to tripple our rates just like they did in so-cal. umm, go capitalism?

Try typing with chemical gloves on. Especially in a darkened room with full chem gear on, and gloves with the ends of the fingers an inch too long and wet. Then factor in a face sheild, on top of a drydent helmet. Oh ya, alarms blaring, and no room to move in. Did I forget something, oh yes I did. The poorly designed ergonomically incorrect position of the key board in relationship to both the monitor and you.

Try that, and then tell me about it being difficult.
