• Week in review: Creative carjacking, shut-down bribes, weddings galore
  Thursday, 18th February 2010
  I H-A-T-E the new pedestrian overpasses. Not only are they super-mafan for to climb, they are also crowded, good spots for thiefs, a pain-in-the-arse for disabled, elder etc., and actually dangerous if it rains since they are so slippery. Chengdu used to have some in the center and took them down at the beginning of the decade and for good reasons, now they put them up again. Dang!
• Chengdu to pilot free bike-rental program
  Wednesday, 17th February 2010
  mmh well I prefer if they stopped building these stupid "sky walks" all over the city where you have to push your bike up and down to cross the street. also the "bike lanes" are a joke as you have to share them with Buses and crazy taxi drivers, not to mention how bumby they are most of the time. Not really thought through I'd say, well I think nobody cares actually. But you think twice getting on a bike once you saw a deadly accident bus vs. biker.
• In Chengdu for the new year? What you can do
  Wednesday, 17th February 2010
  As always this Chinese New Year's was uber-boring. The fireworks seem to have gone through tougher safety regulations, so the rockets shoot only 15m in the air and look all the same. LAME
• China blogs: New year greetings, Buzz's buzz, Han Han on Confucius
  Wednesday, 17th February 2010

If you are tempted to make your own bread Suning has 3 different machines (at least the bigger stores should have them). http://www.suning.cn/[...]

The Carol's in Jin Li is more of a cafe than bar, so I guess any action if at all should be found at the one next to the river (carol's moved liked 5 times or so since it opened).

We had a pot luck for New Year's, next one could be March or April. But I'm cooking @ Le Sud this Sunday, yeah Chinese New Year's is really boring:)

@ the bachelor night isn't a regular thing, however elephant bar is close to little house and little bar, which are both worth to check out, especially the latter one for its weekend gigs of chinese rock.
