Overheard on a Hong Kong message board: "Chinese people need not fear the radiation!"

Overheard on a Hong Kong message board:

「中國人根本不用擔心核輻射,內地網民﹕大家不要擔心日本核電站的輻射,這麼多年來,我們吃地溝油、化學火鍋、三聚氰胺奶粉、毒大米,皮革奶是為的是什麼呀？就是為在下一場生化戰爭中活下來。我們贏在起跑線上。」

"Chinese people need not fear the radiation. Netizens on the mainland: Let's not worry about the radiation from the Japanese nuclear plants. For so many years, we've been eating swill oil, chemical hot pots, melamine milk, toxic grains, "leather milk" — what's all this been for? It's all so we can survive in the next big chemical war. We'll be victorious on the front lines."

Wow!!
Predictive cabling. Goes down BEFORE and earthquake.

I remember last time there was an earthquake in the China sea. It took a long time to get fixed. The slower/disrupted service was used to mask a big beefing up of the GFW.

You probably couldn't get a mandate to redevelop an area and build an underground shopping mall. Especially if it causes major disruption.

There is an existing mandate to build bomb shelters, and there are added benefits to both the infrastructure and opportunities for business that can be captured too :-)

My university and tertiary students only had lectures between 8am and noon, Many didn't even turn up for lectures, but would turn up for exams. There is an old joke in China, that university is hard to get in (Gaokao), but easy to get out (very hard to fail). I was told by my Dean, in one provincial level uni., that if SS failed and exam they would resit up to twice and would be given an automatic pass after the second resit.

At a tertiary college in Kunming, I had about 30 regular SS out of 60 on the register, but 110 turned in exam papers. Half of them scored less than 30% (and I had pretty much told them the answers and where to find them (in the PPTs I gave them). Lo and behold, I was told by management that the SS all had to pass, including the guy who got 9%.

The problems of students staying in the dormitories, not working and playing computer games has been in the Chinese news several times in recent years. Unless the authorities have got a grip of this recently, I doubt it will have changed.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
