Poll of the Day > You can get a room at the 4 seasons in Beijing for only $270 a night.

(+) Yeah! (+)

But the real question is: is it safe to drink the water?

For reference, prices at most 4 Seasons properties start at ~$1,000 per night.

the bottled water is safe to drink

And then there is the 4 Seasons Paris starting at $1,500 per night. Marie Antoinette would be proud.

Why not pony up more cash and get like a bentley? or are those too expensive?

Unless this person wants a luxury car and can max afford only 140K then yeah

wow I paid 2000 dollars for my car
---

I wonder how possible it would be to live completely in a bentley automobile, like a person without a normal home who lives in a car, but its a bentley

think about it. Assume they also have tons of cash and credit cards but no home, just the car to live out of.

do it balor.

Yes, that's an important context. When you first said it, I was thinking that it was high for China.

Did she ever even have to think about money? Would she even care about personal wealth? Wouldn't it be more important that the guests were of nobility than they were wealthy?

That's not actually true. There were destitute nobles and there were wealthy tradesmen.

There are always exceptions, but we are talking about arguably the most income un-equal period in history.

Italian styling with solid power while being semi-discreet. You can get a faster BMW, a better equipped Mercedes and a more comfortable Jaguar but they trade off one of those three to be class leading.
