Yesterday I was watching a movie about casinos which prompted me to go to the bookstore and read more.  It was at the bookstore that I met a fellow from 阿富汗 (Afghanistan) who grew up in 伦敦 (London)and whose ancestors were 波斯人 (Persian) and also happened to be descended from the notable 诗人 (poet) Rumi.  We went to a nearby McDonalds and discussed 商机 (business opportunities) ,  心理学 (psychology) , and  经典文学作品 (classic literary works) for several hours.  On the subway on the way home, I noticed more signs of 3G’s 普及 (spread) in China.  There will be some interesting changes around the corner once the 框架 (framework) is fully rolled out.
