Mission Hill. As she was scavenging from trash can to trash can, her daughter, around seven-years-old, tagged along on the sidewalk. I could hear the girl count in Mandarin, "1,2,3,4."

I once talked with a man who claimed to collect like 40$ in cans a day . My first job paid around that , for 7 long hours operating rides . It wouldn't surprise me if can collecting becomes a respectable occupation in the coming years ...
We might up like Mexico, there people will have the soda pored into a bag( or another container) and the store will take 5 cents off .
This is totally irreverent , but you can understand some Mandarin as well ? Ahh, sir you are much more adaptable to this new globalized economy then I .

As more people collect cans, there will be fewer for each, and less money. Also, as Americans go broke, they won't drink as many cans of corn syrup.

Hi Ksou,
I can understand less than 10 words of Mandarin. My stepmother is Cantonese, and my wife's stepfather is Fukienese...
