Wierd reading

Scary stuff found at The 88s Is it a joke? Not quite sure. A few of the observations may have some truth to them, but these drown all the misconceptions. Interesting reading nevertheless. But scary… Did I mention scary?

Getting ready

It’s soon now. Only 4 days before we’ll be on a plane towards Beijing. We’re as ready as can be with the obvious exceptions. We need packing the few things that can’t be fixed before the last day anyway. Stuff like toothbrush, shampoo, shaving gear, mobile phones, gadget-chargers and so on. Then there’s the note […]

Blocking/blogging woes

According to China Law Blog, deleting the naughty post may not be enough to unblock me permanently from the Great Firewall, so I followed Kevin’s advice and installed Tor which should enable me to access my blog from China.

OMFG!

Please tell me the test site is wrong? My homepage blocked by the Great Firewall? It has to be a joke if this is true. I don’t think my writing is anywhere near offensive to China. I haven’t heard anyone complain that I was blocked at all, so I cross my fingers for a temporary […]

Electrical bicycle

If you live in China, I bet this is nothing new to you. An electrical bicycle. Here in Denmark I have never heard of them, but it turns out one of C’s friends have one which she uses to go to language school sometimes. So I was a little surprised when I saw it. At […]

China calling

After more than 1 year of saving, it seems that I’ll be back in China this summer. It’s been some ride economically, as the whole trip depended on whether I got a big tax return as expected (and planned). Meanwhile waiting for the final say from the tax office (the go being given only a […]

It had to happen…

…Da Shan finally visits Bring on the Night! Yes! – DA SHAN! I was sitting in my own thoughts admiring my FireStats, when I suddenly glance at the table of recent visitors. And what do I spot? No other than the world famous Canadian/Chinese icon Da Shan made a visit (see the Canadian flag if […]
