I am disappointed at the missing live blog. Mike should write a follow-up to this blog post and at least tell the story. I'm sitting in a Hebrew class right now, and because I'm reading this blog, I'm now craving 小笼包. This post was hilarious. I am disappointed at the missing live blog.

Wilma's uncle is a small business owner in Singapore. For every foreign worker, you need to hire 9 Singaporeans, so the ratio is like 1:10. The unemployment rate is very low in Singapore, and the Singaporeans are very selective in terms of choosing a job.
