Went to dinner at Greenery Cafe the other day. Saw a party of 10 at another large table. After they were done eating all 10 of them were playing with their phones and not a single person was speaking to another at the table. So ridiculous, I took a picture of them and they all happily smiled not realizing how stupid they all looked to me.
This morning, there was a mother and her 14 y/o son at the basketball court in our residential quarter. They were playing badmington together. However, her son had a racket in one hand and phone in the other. What a fool (both of them).
After playing badmington, they started jogging around the perimeter of the court. Again, the kid running and looking at phone at the same time. Finally, the mother started wrestling the phone out of the kids hand at which time I applauded her.
Can't even count the times I have seen parents give their kids a phone to play with so they will not be bothered. As young as 6 months old, as though it was a toy or a rattle or pacifier.
When I see women in the bus who nearly falls down because they can not hold on while the bus is braking because they have a bag in one hand and a phone in the other - Soooo stupid. Saw a woman actually fall down just the other day - Haha! Shame did not break her neck.
What does all this have to do with wechat - just another tool for the fools!
Every person now carries the largest library in the world in their pocket or bag but 95% of them just use it for entertainment purposes rather than actually learning something. The more technologu they have the more ignorant they become. Makes them easier to control - Haha! Stupid slaves.

Around Town: Wanda Twin Towers
Posted byI went to the construction site of the Wanda Towers in march 2013 to photograph a tiny temple - Tian Zi Miao in what was then called Tan Jia Ying Village. The tiny temple remained as construction proceeded and miraculously it survives to this day or at least until June 2015 when I was there.
I have to give the developers credit for not destroying the tiny temple. Lets hope it remains.
The temple is directly behind the towers near the corner of Qian Xing Road + Lu Yin Ave.
