Stupidity
Geez a Joab!
Thursday, 26 June 2008 1:35 P GMT+08
All over China, students are about to graduate from universities and colleges and seeking work. This is enormously difficult.
Conclusions on the Wall
Sunday, 15 June 2008 2:37 P GMT+08
The neighbours are doing what the neighbours do best. They are making a lot of noise.
Down in the Flood
Thursday, 12 June 2008 9:35 A GMT+08
As I may have pointed out before, it's been raining quite a lot. But don't worry, we're safe. All is well. The Party is looking after us.
Guardian Predicts Past - Updated
Saturday, 24 May 2008 1:04 P GMT+08
Only days after predicting the future, the Guardian has taken to prediciting the past.
How many roads must a man walk down?
Thursday, 15 May 2008 7:42 P GMT+08
Liuzhou Government have been polishing up their Chinglish and proudly announcing that Liuzhou has 20,862 m2 of pedestrian walkway.
UN Recommended Nonsense
Thursday, 1 May 2008 3:36 P GMT+08
China does not have any direct equivalent to the UK’s Advertising Standards Agency or similar organisations in other countries. That is not to say that that there are no regulations. There are. For example, the more ridiculous advertisements on nati
AIDS Kebabs 2
Thursday, 24 April 2008 2:21 P GMT+08
More than a month after China Mobile sent out an SMS warning people of AIDS / HIV laced kebabs (see here), the Xinjiang government have finally woken up after whatever banquet they were at and decided to issue a statement.
I'm a prisoner. Let me in! Part 2
Thursday, 10 April 2008 11:12 P GMT+08
Last month, I mentioned the escaped prisoner who handed himself in after being on the run for 22 years. Here is a bit of an update, with more details.
No Comment
Wednesday, 26 March 2008 1:01 P GMT+08
Have I ever mentioned the utter idiocy which Liuzhou displays in allowing untrained, unlicenced, uninsured, unbrained idiots to charge up and down the roads, sidewalks, pavements, squares etc. on silent killing machines? Possibly, in passing.
AIDS Kebabs
Saturday, 15 March 2008 10:00 P GMT+08
This is utterly bizarre. My cell phone service provider, China Mobile, sends out daily news digests by SMS. Yesterday they send me a most unusual and somewhat sinister story.
Cunning Plan
Saturday, 15 March 2008 8:52 P GMT+08
It may have come to your attention that there is a slight problem in T!bet.
The Daily Grind
Friday, 14 March 2008 1:52 P GMT+08
In their customary fashion, the local authorities have been taking one step forward and two back.
I'm a prisoner. Let me in!
Wednesday, 5 March 2008 11:44 A GMT+08
I had to share this with you. From China Daily?
Taxi Tantrum
Friday, 29 February 2008 3:23 P GMT+08
The locals are amusing themselves again. It doesn't take much to attract a crowd round here. People stop and gawp at anything slightly unusual. This one got a bit out of hand, though.
Saved
Thursday, 28 February 2008 2:15 P GMT+08
Liuzhou?s Government are at it again. On their website they are ranting on about how beautiful the city is under their care and about how ecologically aware they are and how they are ?saving energy?.
Street Murderers
Thursday, 28 February 2008 11:27 A GMT+08
I may have mentioned these horrible machines before. According to the local authorities there are 150,000 of the ?street murderers? in Liuzhou and the number is increasing.
Hot tips!

Out of pure generosity, I am going to pass on a couple of tips.
Singing, Dreaming, Empathetic Rats!
Tuesday, 5 February 2008 8:32 P GMT+08
Here we are a couple of days away from the Year of the Rat. My friends and neighbours are busy cleaning their houses and hanging up good luck stuff.
In the meantime, the crazies are coming out.
Ignore Foreign Languages
Tuesday, 29 January 2008 5:12 P GMT+08
They love their red banners round here. As I've mentioned before, everywhere you go you can see long thin red banners full of propaganda and other nonsense. No one notices them any more. If they ever did. But this one caught my eye.
Laowai Deported
Sunday, 27 January 2008 4:41 P GMT+08
Liuzhou has won the race to be the first city in China to deport a foreigner this year.
Toast
Tuesday, 15 January 2008 10:15 A GMT+08
The picture above is from today?s local paper. Clearly a story about the criminal irresponsibility of parents who protect themselves while on motorcycles but leave the welfare of their children in the hands of the gods.
Sea of Holes
Thursday, 13 December 2007 9:44 A GMT+08
I don't want to go on about this, but I hope the nutters who decided to build Liuzhou's underground shopping mall in the town centre have read this article. It gives examples of bits of China which have developed holes where there shouldn't be holes
Dig it!
Tuesday, 11 December 2007 11:11 A GMT+08
In 2003, Liuzhou?s government decided to rebuild the city centre. This included changing the traffic routing system. A reasonably efficient one way system was developed throughout the downtown area. So, they decided to destroy it.
