But I looked it up..and it seems to be the same.. however an ambassador is described as a diplomatic official of the "highest rank".. a representative.. just like a Consul. But the term "highest rank" isn't used for Consul in the description for some reason.<BR/><BR/>A friend I once had... her husband started his own business (which has since failed) - and his plan was to import things from China. He went to China soooo often, my friend was a single Mum/widow. I was always uncomfortable with his love affair with China.. not that my opinion mattered any.. but it was me just not liking China.. and also my friend and her son were always on their own without him. He said he'd become a millionaire as China was IT.. and would be a force to be reckoned with on so many levels in the future. After the business failed, he was hired by another company.. and continued to spend most weeks in China doing deals over there.<BR/><BR/>Did you see that documentary once on SBS about girls in a sweatshop over there.. actually making jeans that sell in the U.S. for $100 or more or something.. I think it was 'Guess' jeans. Have we talked about this already? And they earned about $2 a week.. and it was like a prison camp. Worked to the bone.. very long hours.. no time for a life at all..isolated and barely rewarded. It was extremely sad.mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429276385902250770noreply@blogger.com
