There is no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothes. At least my mother always used to say that and but I still don't belive her. The good thing is that you can grab an umbrella from any random girl in the street,, they only use them in sunshine.
A Swedish guy wrote: "I should know. I used to bury people... anyone in need of my services?"
I was wondering how the Swedish mafia was doing these days with the increased competition from the Russians and the other gangs. What exactly do you guys do? I assume it involves smuggling fish and IKEA furniture as well as trafficking Swedes out of the country for a better life. Was it you who burried Palme? Come on you can spill the beans here,, It'll stay between you and me.
Tinfoil hat alert!!!
There is very little chance of stopping this thing anyway so it's probably going to infect hundreds of million of people all over the world and especially in China where people live so close and personal space is non existant. The good thing is that the strain seems not to be as lethal as predicted. Now where can I fend a doctor who I can bribe to prescribe me some Tamiflu,,
You can get blackberries at the market south of 小西门. I hear they are really good,, 8 元 a kilo.
No results found.
The comment from Chris had deserved a wider audience. Beluga?
Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.
We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.
Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.

Interview: A rum-slinging pirate in southwest China
Posted byThe Secret of Monkey Island boy did I play that a lot back in the Amiga days. Jebus I am getting old :(
On an unrelated note I think China should send their warships to deal with Mr. Morgan-Sweet first before they try do deal with Somalian swashbucklers. The experience and training would be invaluable.
Bomb threat targets Kunming Wal-Mart
Posted by"Hello Walmart service desk. How can I help you? ... A bomb you say? And you want money? You know what? I make 1500 a month sitting here, I am not even allowed to go to the bathroom without telling my superior and you want me to give you x amount of cash? Here is what's going to happen. We'll clear the store and sweep for bombs. The smart money is on that there is no bomb at all. If we pay you we still have to clear the place and sweep for bombs anyway. Oh my,, you didn't really think this through did you? Say hello to the police when they knock on your door. I hear they play a funny game of duo mao mao down at the police station. Is there anything else I can do for you today? ok bye bye schmuck"
Kunming government on global headhunting mission
Posted by"Candidates should be under the age of 40". How typical Chinese,, looking for people with a PhD and lots of experience in the fields mentioned. I think most people get their PhDs in their thirties,, not much time left to build up field experience. It reminds me of how the Chinese employers on job application forms want to know skin colour and demands a picture. At my workplace a woman recently didn't get hired "because she was too tall". Priceless.
