  • China blogs: Naked government, a naked man, and sewer oil
    Yesterday
    I really liked the blog links this time.

    Baimiao is a good start towards more transparency, an example that I hope is getting copied all over China (and should I add the Western hemisphere here). Transparency is a fundamental condition sina qua non for progress (fighting corruption and increasing efficiency).

    The naked taxi lifter probably watched "Network" a bit too often and seemed to have taken it literary. My sad prediction is he will end up in psychiatry for the rest of his life. Are the t-shirts printed yet?

    The Shanghai Expo pavilions are simply ugly 9 out of 10, so yes quite representative models of their countries' states of mind.

    But the last link about the second hand drainage oil is so disgusting and really makes me loose appetite every time I think about it. It makes going out dining an haunting experience. I've seen the yulin jiandanmian kitchen once at night, after which I really stay away from the cheap eateries. YAK!!!
  • Week in review: Creative carjacking, shut-down bribes, weddings galore
    Thursday, 18th February 2010
    I H-A-T-E the new pedestrian overpasses. Not only are they super-mafan for to climb, they are also crowded, good spots for thiefs, a pain-in-the-arse for disabled, elder etc., and actually dangerous if it rains since they are so slippery. Chengdu used to have some in the center and took them down at the beginning of the decade and for good reasons, now they put them up again. Dang!
  • Chengdu to pilot free bike-rental program
    Wednesday, 17th February 2010
    mmh well I prefer if they stopped building these stupid "sky walks" all over the city where you have to push your bike up and down to cross the street. also the "bike lanes" are a joke as you have to share them with Buses and crazy taxi drivers, not to mention how bumby they are most of the time. Not really thought through I'd say, well I think nobody cares actually. But you think twice getting on a bike once you saw a deadly accident bus vs. biker.
  • In Chengdu for the new year? What you can do
    Wednesday, 17th February 2010
    As always this Chinese New Year's was uber-boring. The fireworks seem to have gone through tougher safety regulations, so the rockets shoot only 15m in the air and look all the same. LAME
  • China blogs: New year greetings, Buzz's buzz, Han Han on Confucius
    Wednesday, 17th February 2010
    best is to avoid buzz for the moment at least it seems like a honey pott for spamers, hackers and crackers.
