Leaving LA/OC soon...

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
<p>I will keep your name out of the public discussion. But here is my response.</p>

<p>My question regarding Spring time in Paris was a serious question. If you travel you will know that Spring time in another country does not always correspond with Southern California. To make this clearer. While its winter in Southern Cali. In South America, their winter is actually summer.</p>

<p>As to my question regarding mode of transportation. That was also a serious question. And one of the poster gave me a good advice and that is to take the subway. Cause I honestly thought of taking the taxis.</p>

<p>Again, I apologize to you if you see my questions as stupid. </p>
 
You can free yourself of the frustration of reading my stupid questions. As there are many other discussions to enjoy yourself with.
 
<p>reason - As regards the employment numbers, I would have been wrong. I would have said, "I don't have a clue", but inside I would have been thinking that the numbers would be bad.</p>

<p>It turns out the numbers are ok, and although I know the emp figures affect the markets greatly, I have little to no faith in their accuracy. I think the birth/death model is a load of hooey. </p>

<p> </p>
 
reason - Read how they obtained those numbers as losses. They have marked their present ABS in question to "fair value". They have not marked them to market. Plus, they say nothing of their off balance sheet paper.
 
I think the service level is considerably higher at South Coast Plaza than shopping on Plaza Athenee. Also depends on the color of your skin it seems. You always get better treatment in high end shops if you're asian as opposed to white or if you have an asian girl with you. I have a friend who is very rich but white and not attractive (she is a lawyer who lives in an apartment overlooking central park). If she is shopping in Paris or Nice she absolutely will not get attention or will be told explicitly you can't afford to shop here. She tried checking into a hotel where she had a reservation and was told she could not afford it...after 3 hours they discovered that despite the fact she was in booty shorts, tennis shoes, and a trashy top showing a lot of cleavage she had a Centurion card. If you're asian you're rarely treated that badly since many high end stores know Japanese and Chinese tourists may be younger and may be forced to use a different entrance but they do buy stuff. White Americans have a reputation for buying tacky souvenirs and just browsing in high end stores. If you expect rudeness and dress up more to shop hopefully you should enjoy Parisian shopping.
 
I did a study abroad program in Paris through Orange Coast College. Several Asians who were in the program claimed that Paris was one of the most racist cities they've been to.
