    I've never realized it was even possible to know all that information that far in advance!
    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

    Don't laugh, they changed the holiday schedule for National Day 2009 twice
    They are still doing those weekend shifting and December is the time to do that
    They didn't shift the weekends around Dragon boat and mid autumn festivals for the first time.

    I was about to say, whoever plans the holidays for China must have had a particularly good day or something! Gotta love the Chinese magical musical mystery holiday schedules.

    Makes me wanna work on Saturday... or maybe not!

    You're not questioning the hard work of the CNPHRPCC? Are you?

    Sat, Sun work is very important for business owners as it gets paid double. In 2010 there are 4 weekend days, now defined by law to be normal working days. Imagine you own a small company with 10000 staff at an average hourly cost of 10 RMB per hour, so 10 RMB difference for the 4 days in question.

    Saving = 10RMB * 8 hours * 10000 staff * 4 days = new BMW
