during my recent 'home' trip...i have seen more than one Bentley on the road...not to mention Merc 350 and RR... and met a fren using Vertu...
some good moneies were made during the recent property boom...and last year's stock market...
on the other hand, as rightly pointed out bro Papillon, most of the population is still fighting to make ends meet...there were a number of strikes this year to increase the wages from factory workers...dont mix it up with sexy bebes on expensive bikes...
the rich-poor gap is widening in alarming pace....
