Part 2

Some interesting facts I just learned. Basic literacy in Chinese is understanding a minimum of 1500 characters. I presently know two and I'm leaving in three weeks. Also did you know that libraries in China operate on a profit margin and are expected to be in the black. Customers are charged for all services and there are different levels of membership. It is also rumored that the more money a library makes (higher profit) the more money librarians are paid. Maybe not such a bad idea!
