"I do a lot of walking," he said. "I got tired of watching the smoke and the filth and the little streams dying one by one. A man ought to be able to drink from a stream when he's thirsty or take his son out fishing.

Asian capitalists preferred to deposit coveted hard currency without encountering the burdensome exchange restrictions and withholding taxes on interest that they would meet at home. Now, however, a growing number of the dollars are traveling no farther than Singapore.
