Rice Increases In Price

I really don’t know how these businesses in Chinatown survive. Today I bought duck over rice and it was $3.75. Right now rice is at a super high price and they say there’s a shortage.

Saturday At Macy’s

So yesterday was the second time where I was invited to do a demonstration in Macy’s at Herald Square. For me it’s one of the most nerve racking experiences. Not only are you demonstrating in front of a crowd of 50 people, but they also have 3 plasma televisions in the store showing your demo.
