The perks of working for a large Chinese company:

1) Free Laoshe Teahouse tickets

2) New Year Gift: 10 giant green calendars; 5 pocket-size; one large pastel calendar of a cartoon cow sporting a hat and 
    fishing pail (to be fair, 2009 is the Year of the Cow)

2) A case of oranges for the Lantern Festival

3) Frozen fish and shrimp for the Chinese New Year (aka Spring Festival - celebrated in January :-/ )

4) Occasional re-imbursed taxi rides

5) I'm almost the only one who uses the nice western toilet, since They like to squat. (Yes, I am one of Them, but I'm just 
     not a squatter)

6) An excuse to be excessive in dessert or alcohol
