End of the road?

Seems that the Danish Football Association finally had FIFA try to do something to get to the bottom of what happened this summer at the women’s World Cup of Soccer. FIFA now actively tried to find out why two Chinese guys were videotaping the Danish women’s soccer team’s tactics meeting the day before they met […]

Jeffrey Lau – The Professional

Sometimes you just wonder how low China/KH are ready to go by copying stuff so they wont have to think themselves. And then sometimes you get a sudden clue. I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but sometimes I still do. The missus just watched a Chinese movie called “Out of the Dark” by the godly […]

Toystory

If you are interested in China, maybe you’d like to check out these photos from a toy factory in China. Actually this factory looks a lot better than the one covered by journalists about ½ year ago on Danish television. Great pictures, but not sure I envy the employees.

Jail House Blog

Fell over this article (in Danish). It describes how a recent survey by Reporters Without Borders (RWB) shows that 64 bloggers round the world are imprisoned for blogging unwanted stuff about their country/government. According to RWB, 50 of these are (surprisingly?) located Chinese prisons. China is a huge population which may explain why China achieves a massive number […]

Eye of the beholder

One thing I have noticed back when I was in China, was the difference in the way Chinese and westerners take and look at photos. When I say Chinese I can only account for the ones I’ve met personally, so even though I may be generalizing, I also know Chinese are different about this. Still […]

Seems that the Danish woman’s soccer team was spied on through a two-way mirror through tactics meeting in their hotel. But by whom and what really happened? The story as the media here presents it (this part is my rundown from many news the last 5 days): China hosts the woman’s World Cup soccer tournament […]

Huh?

Just found out that I missed posting one of my marathon entries from back in China. Not sure what happened, but when I tried to backlink to it, I couldn’t find it. Turns out it was never posted, but fortunately I wrote all my stuff in documents and kept it on the laptop. Must have […]

Trying to fix the ban..

… unfortunately involves me having to make a few of my favurite blogs invisible on the blog roll. I tried this tool, and it told me that some other blogs was “questionable”. I have now hid these in an attempt to lift the ban from the Great Fire Wall og China. This means that: Monkey […]

Help me out please

Somehow I got on the blacklist of the Great Firewall. Not sure what triggered it, but I’m doing my best to figure it out. I have done a few random adjustments on this blog to test if it helps. Stuff like remove a Google translation service, remove some links and so on. I also checked out […]

… I have to share: Deep down, in places we don’t talk about in public, you know you want to know, right? May be related to this entry and may or may not be yours truly’s toes. If, and I emphasis if, it was to be my toes, the training in making nails, would have been […]

If you already live in China, or have been, you’d probably not find it extraordinary, but some of the “delicacies” may not fall well in a non-adventurous western stomach. Anyway, here’s the list: Cow stomach (I think it was raw, or at least only boiled a very short time) Chicken stomach (according to C I […]

28th July 2007 Beijing – Amsterdam – Copenhagen – Aalborg Woke up a little past 5.00am. C was already up after a coughing ride and I felt rested out anyway. I actually managed to pull out some quality sleep in the train. The extreme noise from the rumbling train was not enough to keep me […]

Homebound

27th July 2007 Yilan – Harbin – Beijing What a sucky night. C almost coughed her lungs up. At 2.30am we had to get up and stop C’s cough. I made some hot water that she breathed a bit of steam from, and also she drank a bit to soothe her worn throat. Sitting in […]

26th July 2007 Yilan C woke me with some insane coughing and moving around in the apartment. She started munching down sunflower seeds and as always never closes the door to the bedroom. I later found out it was 5.30am, which to me is way too early. I was not to decide though, and soon […]

Blah

25th July 2007 Yilan This will be the last post from China, as we’ll be going home tomorrow. Up at 6.30am. Not because I wanted to, but because C got the clean-crazy bug. She decided that this would be an excellent time to start sweeping the apartment and moving stuff around. Safe to say that […]

A slow relaxing day

24th July 2007 Yilan Up at 6.00am. C still has a sore throat and coughed through the night. She also insisted on keeping the window in the bedroom closed, as it would prevent draft. Nothing to keep you ill like a night of freezing. Guess she’s right. I sweated a while lot instead though, but […]

23rd July 2007 Yilan Another cool nights of sleep. I’m still dizzy, but it doesn’t feel as bad as before. Not quite sure yet though, as I had done nothing but go to the toilet and sit in bed and write up on the last days doings. C went to eat breakfast at her parents […]

22th July 2007 Gao Leng Woke up 30 minutes before C was ready to get up. I couldn’t sleep anymore, even though I badly needed the rest and didn’t sleep much or well that night. I put my lappie under my arm and headed down the stairs of the computer school and plugged her in. […]

21th July 2007 Yilan – Gao Leng I slept ok again for the second night in a row. I’m still ill, so a good night’s sleep is essential. C had agreed to visit her sister’s house yet again today, so we had a bath and grabbed a taxi there. I had already turned down sightseeing […]
