    Im always appalled at how cheaply people sell themselves. Like who the fuck takes a $100 dollar bribe? The fuck you do with a $100 bucks? Buy some eggs? I would be insulted, livid even.

In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Winnie is apologetic and embarrassed by any negative impression or confusion this may have caused.”

    Ah yes, the ol’ “this is all a cultural misunderstanding…”
