Permits and such

In order to bring anything into the mall, be it a bag of cement or a pail of water one need to have a permit. Every day is a new permit. Its a little annoying that we have to get one everyday but what are you gonna do? The floor needed waterproofing and then the geniuses at management decided we needed to flood the waterproofing for 2 days to see if it was effective...so there go two days of work... Now were focusing on things other than the half a centimeter thick layer of tar under my kitchen...we focus on permits. To be perfectly honest the permit process here is much simpler than it would be in the US not as tight regulation wise and standards arent particularly restraining. But we need too many permits its just time consuming...all are relatively irrelevant and cheap except for one...liquor. We need to sell wine and cocktails to maintain a healthy profit margin, specially considering that we plan on doing a little lounge thing at night soon. But the price hovers between 1,000 and 10,000 dollars depending on who you know and who you are...wether or not you look chinese, indonesian, foreign etc. I think we wont overpay... But its still a biig reality check.
