Exhale

Quote of the day: "Don't you know the first law of physics? Anything that's fun costs at least $8." (Cartman)

That's so true. I need more money.

Anyway Ms Leow was showing me this powerpoint quiz called 'Industrial Geography'. I'm not sure how some of the questions were related to Geography but in any case it was pretty interesting. Did you know for instance:

1. Michael Jordan is a University graduate with a degree in Geography.

2. The first MacDonalds restaurant opened not in the USA but in the UK!

3. The busiest MacDonalds outlet in the world is not in Shanghai's Pudong, or Japan's Ginza Square but in Moscow's Pushkinskaya square! ( I think that's how its spelt) Apparently, it has consistently enjoyed high turnover since 1990 when the Communists first allowed a MacDonalds outlet to open in the former Soviet Union.

4. The cost price of a pair of Nike shoes is $18. Nike then sells it to retailers at $36 who subsequently sell it to consumers at $72. Of this, just $2 goes to labour. A pittance!

5. MacDonalds freezes and then exports its pancakes, meat and buns to its franchise outlets all over the world.

I've learnt something new @_@
