Wah, so much commentary. I too want to share a bit.

Everyone has their own value of money, most importantly is whether you are happy and you find it worthwhile or not. In the eye of others, it may be crazy and wastage, why bother? at the end of the day, you are the one enjoying. We earn and we spend, how you want to spend is up to each individual. Why let others dictate you?
In HFJ, people go there has different motives, you spend to achieve your motive. Worth or not is up to each person as we are not aware of their private arrangements. Occassionally we can comment but not too personal, be humble and be objective.
Yes, I do agree that those PRC gals are here to make money but they never pointed a knife at us. You pay what you think is worth, change if you are not happy or find somewhere more money worth.
