But I guess that since you guys come from so much further away and that you do NOT get to come over as often as we do - well...I can understand.
Some ABC's, CBC's and other places BC's are also quite free spending when they're in town. I heard that a couple weeks ago some CBC's from Calgary had wanted to 'BREAK THE RECORD' for spending the most at OuYa - and managed to blow over RMB 25K just for the KTV costs that night between the 5 of them.
The funny thing is that they really did not know that some locals, government guys being entertained, big factory owners would NOT consider spending such as being so out of the ordinary! These guys really got suckered into thinking that they broke some kind of record. LMAO!!
SEAN - Yeah, all sorts do come to CP!!

Bro, your analysis is spot on!
1. we generally don't or can't come over as often
2. cost we already incurred (airfare as one of the component)
3. permission from OC (Commanding Office aka wife) only gets harder to come up with each subsequent trip;
and maybe some other reasons others encountered, normally means we tend to stinge a little less when we are in CP.
However, with each trip we will also tend to learn from the times and occasions that we had been had as suckers. Therefore, I would say the more experienced the chiongster, the less likely they will "throw money into the sea" as you would say.
On the subject of "bao-ing" a CP gal, god knows I have been down that road and I can only say, that is the fastest way for things between the two lovebirds to turn sour, however good a relationship you have with a CP gal.
