Umm, is that another way of saying, "They've lowered the standards.", Ivan?

Sorry to hear that you won't be making it to Bris. for the p!ssup, LP, although I hear that Budapest (not to be confused with Buddapist) is nice at this time of the year.
A little Hungarian bird told me that a lot of the money in Hainan is from a Hungarian gentleman by the name of George Soros - some of you MAY have heard of him - and that MALEV will be supplying some aircraft (767's?) along with crew, to operate on behalf of your airline, LP.

The fact that Mr Soros is investing heavily there, and that the World Bank has indicated that some Asian countries are holding "vast" reserves of USD's (tens of trillions, apparently), AND that the good ol' USofA is complaining that the yuan is UNDER-valued, seem to me to be good reason to purchase some yuan and sit on them for some short-medium term gain.
Any comments from anyone?
