gambling culture

for the first time in my life i see $100,000.00 cash.
one slab of 1 thousand notes.
that's how they gamble. (the 100K one of the player's capital)
ridiculous you may say.

welcome to my new office's culture.

it is CNY and the people here gamble a lot.
every day there is a make-shift table during lunch.
i never had the luck with gambling but i do like the kick of it.
but i have so much work to do, i'll give the game a miss.
small bets are $50-$1000.
VIP table bets are $1000-$7000 per bet.
whatever the case, this is an eye-opener for me.
never in my life did i see so much cash.
and this is entertainment!

will i become like this one day?
if i do, please kick my ass.
