I doubt anyone is worth 300 kuai an hour downhere but I guess preying on parents fear of their offspring becoming street sweepers is borderline ok. Supply and demand.

Reminds me of that bus in Liaoning that blew up a couple of years ago because some nong had brought a couple of gas canisters aboard it. Also no hammers and everybody were incinerated. Those gas thingies cause hundreds of restaurant fires in China every year btw and especially in certain northern provinces where it is common to sell soup at the entrance. One blows up and everyone inside is trapped.

I still don't get how they managed to stuff 120 people into that bus. Using the phrase "this is China" seems appropriate here. There are some pics and videos from the bus fire on Chinasmack (not for the faint-hearted): www.chinasmack.com/pictures/chengdu-bus-9-fire-videos/

I think this is how it begins. The stories you hear about 50 year old unmarried women barricaded inside their house together with their 100+ cats screaming at kids in the street through their windows untill the day the RSPCA breaks down the door. Don't tell me you weren't warned. All the best.

4 years?? Back in Scandinavia we have some of the most lenient sentences in the world, but raping a 4 year old would land you at least double that, or a spot in an mental institution. This is the problem with corruption, if his friends and acquaintances on the other side of the law aren't playing along, he's going to take them down with him. Please don't tweet this more than 499 times. I want to stay harmonious.

I don't know what kind of geologist would "expect" an even larger quake within 10 days. The release of tension in the 5.9 and the subsequent aftershocks ought to significantly LOWER the chance of quakes until the tension rebuilds, which of course could take anything from a year to a hundred. I have no idea why anyone would try to install fear in people like that when scientific evidence -or rather, past experience in this case- suggests that such events are unlikely, but yeah, of course can not be ruled out.

I'm not a proponent of capital punishment but this is a case seriously testing my feelings. If you can earn yourself a bullet to the head for holding on to more than 20 grams of hard drugs, where is the equivalent for greedy, ruthless people who knowingly conspire to risk the health of hundreds of thousands of their customers? You know what, maybe chopping off a few heads could set an example for other sociopaths to behold.

Considering the price of rhino horn in China due to TCM superstition, sadly I think it's only a matter of time before one or more are poached.

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.
