Crime and Punishment
Tuesday, 27 October 2009 11:37 P GMT+08

Another harrowing mental health tale has emerged from Liuzhou. In late 2007, I brought you the painful story of "the girl in the dark." Now we have an unfortunate young man.

Today, the 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the day of the Lantern Festival marking the end of the Spring Festival for this year. It feels really odd as it is very warm. Last year at this time, we were freezing.I should have known better, but I too

Frozen Fish - Tilapia Trauma
Wednesday, 7 January 2009 5:23 P GMT+08
One of the things I miss around here is good fish. Not that we don't have any fish, but most of the fish are freshwater breeds which simply don't taste as good, or require pepping up with strong flavours.
