"Obviously Chinese don't think straight...they always think you are up with something?"
We have 1.3 Billion .... so I guess a little crowded is inevitable...
"Being late is one of the virtue of Chinese people. It shows that you're...important!"
That's what Facebook is for!
I don't think its fair 'cause I see ... even some gaijin do that!
A picture worth a thousand words...this guy do know about the differences between Germany and China!
Anyways, from now on I will post on this site with EXTREMELY interesting news and blog posts only, for ESWN did a much better job in assimilating and processing news for me than myself...
Heads gonna roll for this. Condolences for victim's family.
How would the most powerful and richest nation in the world allow their citizen to die under under-maintained and unreliable public infrastructure?
That's a good question to ask. I wish this won't happen in Canada...oh wait, it already happened in Quebec! ^$%&^#%^&
2.Quote of the day "Screaming kids are good. That means they're alive and full of a lot of energy. As a paramedic, that's the best thing, I'll tell you. If it's quiet, that means I've got a busload of children who can't help themselves."
- Jay Reeves, American Red Cross at the scene
3.Article of the day The missionaries vs Martyrs In some way, the Taliban and the Koreans are the same -- they both believe in something so much that they are willing to put themselves at risk.
The difference is, one is willing to take others lives, the other one is willing to give their own lives for others.
We can see the differences of the religion here I guess...
4.Video of the day I am a PC...BAM!~ Best one is the second last one...enjoy!
Canada will lose this time, unless we develop nuclear powered Canadian Moose who can ram those Russians out of those outpost...
Seriously though, the cold ocean is home to one of the last few large oil and mineral reserves on earth and also tons of of fish that was unaccessible to us before global warming kicks in...and the importantly, the strategic shipping lanes that means $$$...
Comon Canada...go get em!
2.Quote of the day "The South Pole is an expensive place to exploit and it was realised that if everyone agreed not to touch it, they could all rest easy about pouring millions into the area. This is not the issue with the Arctic. It is becoming easier and easier to exploit. Nations aren't going to give up on these rich pickings."
- Some dude
3.Article of the day The rise of a polluting country Yes China! 11.2% of global economy and and more pollution anyone? Biggest driver of global economic activity...may as well add the "Biggest polluter of global economic activity", which as we all know, is still hold by the United States of America.
But China is catching up REAL fast and this year or next, the CO2 crown should be in China's hand.
The internet is ruthless. For the past few years we've already been through myspace, friendster, etc...all these social networking web apps.
If anyone can develop an application who can automatically move your friends between these freaking web apps, that will be super...
Or, as the article say, if Facebook became THE GOOGLE of social networking apps, then we can stop searching and moving again every 6 months. Which is a good thing.
I've seen this guy ALL over the internet...and I finally know his true identity.
Qian Zhijun, the cute fat Shanghai boy...is going nuclear! I mean, he is going to hollywood for pron?!!?

-Nicholas Christakis, Professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School
3.Article of the day Friends make you FAT A very interesting article...all these research done for the common sense "Your mom is a woman"?
Of course Fat folks won't hang out with Slim folks 'cause they will laugh at them!!! Why would a hot slim girl/fit guy hang out with a bunch of fat folks? Or vis viersa?
Maybe I am too dumb to realize that I need 32 years of research to figure that out...
I like having multiple wives. Hell, its a man's dream/nightmare. But killing these people just for that?
They were not on a missionary mission. They were coming to volunteering for providing only medical and other volunteer aid to distressed people in your war-ravaged country.
I can tell you that, if you kill these people, S.Korea will sent their best marines to come hunt you down and cut your heads and limbs off.
They are not Japanese, nor they are Chinese. The are hot-blooded Koreans. If they can commit Hara-Kiri, cover themselves with bees, cut their own fingers off to protest against their government policies towards Japan, imagine what they will DO TO YOU if you kill their young sons and daughters who came to help you with good intentions.
They will make you say "Allāhu Akbar" with your tongue cut off ... and your OWN head on your laps! 2.Quote of the day "They have got until tomorrow at noon to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan, or otherwise we will kill the 18 Korean."
-Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, Taliban spokesman
3.Article of the day Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea...eh I mean 5,000 feet under the sea Interesting article in terms of how the mining industry will be revolutionized after most of the Earth's surface gold, copper, and most importantly tantalum(cell phone material) mines depleted and polluted the environment around it to hell...and yes, maybe we will fuck the sea up as well!
But who cares about some remote place in the pacific under 1,600m? GREENPEACE don't have the sub to go protest there...
Out of sight, out of mind...I think we are gonna screw it up again with this...
The only international report int the Gaza Strip, Alan has been a captive for 100days...and at one time shown in a video with a suicide bomb vest on...
I always think chopping defenseless people's head off is a chicken move, albeit dropping 2000lb paveway bomb to a bomb shelter for civilians are as bad...
Good luck Alan...

- Alan Johnston, BCC reporter in his bomb vest video
3.Article of the day Beverage of Champions Send it to your white ghost friends if they got a cold...this medicine is well know in the Chinese world...

Frankly, this is really scary 'cause this LA driving scene is so real. And listen to a good "polite" pop star saying ass and fxxk...priceless!
You gotta give it to her though. Count the number of illegal/road rage incident...and you will be amazed how calm a 16 year old pop star is...

Wow who know my tattoo would amount to this much attention?"

3.Article of the day Capitalism with Special Chinese Characteristics Dutch Disease with Special Chinese Characteristics - A massive labor-intensive exports plus large-scale capital imports, which affect not the exchange rate but the decision-making process. With enough resources around to buy off any and all stakeholders, incentives to push for reforms or pressure for care in lending and rational decision-making are reduced.
4.Video of the day Super Shadow Nippon...???!!!??? Speechless...how did that shadow ball jump up and down? I still have no idea...
For a man who invented modern calculus, he actually spent even more time trying to figure out what Bible REALLY says...
Imagine if he got a computer at his hand....woot!
2.Quote of the day “They have absolutely no taste, and I don’t mean that in a small way. I mean it in a big way—in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas and they don’t bring much culture into their products.”
It takes awhile to realize what's going on...I just hope that they don't blow each other up...cause we won't know how to handle a suicide bomber vs suicide bomber war...
Its just way too bloody...

4.Video of the day Chinese language lesson: How to complain as an angry customer Apparently he is one of those stock investor in Shanghai who lost 5000RMB due to a glitch in the service of his highspeed broadband internet...boy is he pissed off!
Nothing wrong with that. Its just sad that seeing your comrades going to the battlefield while seeing you enjoying beer and having a great time with hot bartenders...
Well, what can you do? At least you are shooting something in Alberta now eh?
2.Quote of the day "It would be legitimate to attack banks because they charge interest, and this is in violation of Islamic law.”

3.Article of the day Deathnote...Muslim edition There are six rules you need to consider before you blow yourself up.
Rule No. 1: You can kill bystanders without feeling a lot of guilt. Rule No. 2: You can kill children, too, without needing to feel distress. Rule No. 3: Sometimes, you can single out civilians for killing; bankers are an example. Rule No. 4: You cannot kill in the country where you reside unless you were born there. Rule No. 5: You can lie or hide your religion if you do this for jihad. Rule No. 6. You may need to ask your parents for their consent.
If you abide by these rules(or find exceptions from some old scripts ), you will be in heaven.
I feel bad for the tiger...somehow, he don't understand english.

1.News of the day The Spy Who Shagged Me After using nuclear substance (polonium210) to kill a guy who criticizes you, what do you get? Bad press?
No! In mother Russia, where cars drive you, you don't get murdered by polonium210.
In mother Russia, Polonium eats you. Whether you die or not, its up to god...but there is no god.
Anyway, after all these years, the cold war is over and the West is no longer an enemy but, as far as you can tell, it is no friend.
I like this paragraph,
"Many years ago, when I first came to work in Moscow, a political pundit close to the Kremlin told me that the problem between Russia and the West is that Russians are white.
“We look like you. We look like Europeans and so the West expects us to think and act like you. As a result, when we don’t you get all upset. Why can’t they be like us, you fret. But you don’t say that about the Chinese, for instance. You don’t expect them to think and act like you. Well, we are white but we are different.”
Something wrong with being WHITE? WTF?
2.Quote of the day "Riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma."
- Winston Churchill on Russia
3.Article of the day King Kwong/Wu/Wong... The Economist is a great magazine. No one knows who wrote the article, yet all the articles somehow gives a coherent thinking mode on world issues that is not conflicting at all. (At least thats from MY reading experience)
It is interesting that Japan is the subject of comparison when trying to look back in history for similar instance where American supremacy is being challenged by another foreign country.
A democratic capitalism vs a one party state "capitalism" - 19th century style one where workers be damed, environment be damned, morals be damned and get rich is glorious.
I hope the history don't repeat itself 'cause 100million of angry stock holders may cause a very big harmonic noise of "TMD", and that won't be a harmonic society anymore.
btw, I love the art work...Panda vs US of A...so cute...O.o
1.News of the day Olympic pictograms - Chinese style This is the best pictograms among other olympics cause it actually feels lively...as if those are REAL, as these are based on theme of the ancient "oracle bone" text...
I like the one with Taekwondo, that guy is really kicking ass!
This is basically virtual buying non-claimed lands.
I do remember there were cases where big company sue the person instead of paying the guy who owns nissan.com
Oh crap, he still owns it, but he may need to pay 10million USD for his last name, Nissan, that lasts for generations...
Life sucks I guess. Better not name your kid Google or any up and coming mega brand...??? 4.Video of the day The game who saved the nation Blizzard's entertainment has unveiled its latest Starcraft 2 announcement presentation in Korea. Why Korea? Because Starcraft saved Korea's economy back in the Asian Financial Crisis!
2.Quote of the day "China is a nation with a 5,000-year history. That could indicate the duration for our patience."
-Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google Inc.
3.Article of the day How long can Great Firewall of China last? While the physical Great wall of China is eroding in an alarming rate, there seems to be no signs of breaking in the virtual world.
How long can this Great Firewall of China last? I don't really know. I do know that the western world are force feeding them with freedom porn, which is immoral!
4.Video of the day Less stupid and nicer jump from South Africa Used to be the world’s highest swing is located in a place called Oribi Gorge, South Africa. I'd rather do this than the one in China...I'd rather see the woods than concrete so I have a better chance of survival when I fell...
Seriously though. THE CRAIZEST MAN IN THE WORLD, is this: Skydiving from the edge of space, reaching super sonic speed. And he done it more than once!

1.News of the day Cry wolf...Wolf. Don't cry I guess there is a limit of what bush's administration can cover for Wolf. He was not a bad man. He is just a sick bastard who also architect the Iraq Plan.
And we all know how great the plan was, and how great it is today, and how great it will be in the future if nothing is done to change the fundamental flaws of the plan...
Time for him to get hired as PMC(Private Military Company) and go to Iraq and start kicking some...hm...I guess not.
2.Quote of the day "What we are hoping for is somebody who really has leadership capacity. Somebody who is a person of vision, who has demonstrated diplomatic abilities to bring development partners and clients together and really somebody who trusts the staff."
-Alison Cave, head of World bank's staff association
Which means... "Wolf doesn't possess ANY leadership capacity, NOT a person of vision, and also demonstrated diplomatic INCOMPETENCY to bring development partners and clients together. Last but not the least, he is a JERK who distrust his staff."
1.News of the day All your changes are belong to us! Woot! Imagine going to the bank and cash it out all these coins...I mean 17 tons of colonial-era silver and gold coins. Just imagine!
500million from the middle of no where deep in the Atlantic ocean.
The Black Swan coins...don't tell anyone where it is!
I am sure the world will find out soon though...
2.Quote of the day "So there will be winners and losers. The bad news is that you, the ordinary, middle-class employees of the west, will be losers and everybody else will be winners. But the good news is, your sacrifice will make poverty history."
-Article, "Profits of Doom", Financial Times, Oct 2006
3.Article of the day The world is flat, but not so fat for you! This is not a joke, its happening and I have to think of a way to survive. With the rise of Asia's white collar class, development of the Automation, and Abundance of the materials, it created a perfect storm to the current white collar class culture in the west.
If I can hire 2 phDs, 4 Masters, 8 undergraduates from Asia with the price of 1 big fat American, why the hell should I hire you?
If you read the powerpoint below, 25% of the highest IQ in China is more than the total population of the North America continent...so its completely possible.
That means...we gotta find something that can't be outsourced and highly in demand.
Eg. Prostitution(ok thats just not right...), Home renovation, Plumbing, Artistic Design, anything that uses your RIGHT brain instead of the LEFT...
Or thats just my wishful thinking. 4.Video of the day The BEST powerpoint in the world The stats are stunning and I have nothing to say but this:
"你所有的工作都是屬于我們的!" "All your jobs are belong to us!"

RIP Boris Yeltsin (February 1, 1931 – April 23, 2007)
No matter how "clown" alike he was in the later years, he was the man who stopped the tanks from crushing the democracy movement in Soviet Union.
For that, we should be grateful.
2.Quotes of the day "I express the very deepest condolences to the family of the deceased on whose shoulders rest major events for the good of the country and serious mistakes. A tragic fate."
-Former soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev
"He has made the world weep. We are living a nightmare."
-Cho Sun-Kyung, Sister of Cho Seung-Hui
3.Article of the day Statement from Cho Sun-Kyung Not much to add here. But that gives you an idea of how does it feel to be the family members of a villain.
And is he really a villain? Or just a poor kid with no friends no nothing, a stranger in a strange land?
Her sister went to Princeton. I am sure he is not a dumb kid. What a difference... 4.Video of the day The landlord, and she is pissed off... Show me the money bitxh! said from the 2yr old. Its not special effect. Its real!
