There'll be no American Standard here, thankyouverymuch!

Interesting item of note #1:
So I'd read before I came over that around the touristy spots, the Chinese were updating public restroom facilities to "westernize" them (i.e., a standard-height toilet rather than a squat-toilet, adding urinals to men's rooms, etc.). Here in the press center building, which is new, all the sinks, toilets, urinals, etc are American Standard brand. Beginning yesterday, we started noticing little neatly-cut pieces of duct tape begin popping up over top of their logo on those fixtures. Funny!
