So if a Fung sui expert picks you out of a line up for receipt of a prize , because your face is lucky , how could he be wrong?

That was an interesting letter.  Very observant traveler.

Looks like the Chinese banks are interested in preserving at least one venerable tradition of Western capitalism, "banker's hours."  I don't know if the writer picked up the irony in his snide comparison to the hours of a young Western investment banker and wondering how the Chinese bankers could compete.  Looks to me like the young, over-worked bankers of Wall Street have pretty much driven their own industry into the ground.  Maybe the Chinese, with their preservation of banker's hours, are really on to something.  Excessive zeal = bad feng shui?
