September 26, 2009 at 4:54 PMI really liked the additional dose of dynamic that Lilana injected into this Qing Wen.
I sure hope she got more interesting questions for the future so we can hear her again...

good to see you back here! So, you gave up Chinese for Japanese? Or is that temporary?
And I see, you eventually let go Windows Mobile?

the very fact that you write sentences like "we also believe in our government" is scary.
Always keep a critical and sober distance to those in power (And if you are not being tolerated to do so either by official of peer pressure - well then the situation is indeed very scary).
And install as many control mechanismns as possible as belief is never enough. Not in our countries and not in yours.

maybe that changed - my last data is from 2003 when my family in law got the *complete* furniture for their then new apartment (3 bedrooms, a living room). Price: Between 10,000 and 20,000 Yuan (or 2,000 Euro) - a price that you pay for a mid-class sofa here in Germany.
The impressive shopping experience was in the one and only 香河. I have never seem a city like that before. A pure and undiluted furniture city. Up to the horizon only furniture stores - larger than anything I had seen before.

September 14, 2009 at 5:10 AMI think it is interesting that IKEA can exist in China - compared to Chinese standards the furniture is extremely high cost. And you even have to built it yourself.
And for us foreigners this brings along lots and lots of new vocab: anyone has a 毕利 at home?

Your voice will be missed.
All the best!

Posted on: Not Cooked Enough
September 28, 2009 at 4:50 AMI had those on a trip to the US in San Franscisco at the home of a friend. It was strange, but not as disgusting as the (dead) chicken embryo I had a year later.
But I am not a fan of shrimps regardless of their degree of liveliness.
baba: You bite off the head first (at least that is what I did).
