I was working part time as a teller in a bank. An Asian woman worked with me; we usually had the same part-time schedule. One day after finishing work she invited me to go shopping at a nearby mall. As we shopped she bought a number of very expensive things and just presented a credit card as payment. I had to ask her how she could afford such items on our part-time salary. She replied that her father in Hong Kong was a very powerful and wealthy man. He paid her credit card bills without question. The part-time bank job was just a hobby to get her out of the house.
