Happy to see you are still kicking Willy, was worried about you! The good thing about the current admin is that everything the right sid would happen if he was INSTALLED has come to pass! We told y'all so!

Bank of China has an office in New York city. You might also check out Wells Fargo, they have branches in China.

Any Chinese Bank based outside of mainland China is classed as a foreign bank.

Chinese New Year 2021 – Year of the Ox

My wife keeps needling me to become more Chinese, so with my departure from the oil & gas industry (27 years) and loss of my job, I have returned to school. Apparently being Caucasian isn't enough for her, so I have enrolled into an Acupuncture school and have 3 years of studying for me new carrier. That's right, I'm learning to be able to be a real prick!

My hope is that all is well for all of you and in this year of the Ox gives reason to enjoy our steaks. Happy New Year All.
