He he!

No tutor tutoring

Monday, 24 August 2009 8:21 P GMT+08
In past years, school kids across China have been given the usual holidays - summer, spring festival etc. Then they were ordered to attend compulsory make up lessons, tutoring sessions etc., meaning they didn't get a break at all......

Beaten to death for using Internet - Updated

Tuesday, 4 August 2009 11:47 A GMT+08
You've probably read this already, but I'm going to repeat the news that, in Nanning, a 15 or 16 year old boy has allegedly been beaten to death one day into a month long Internet Addiction cure.

I am delighted to receive a personal email from the British Ambassador to China, Sir William Ehrman, KCMG, or as we usually refer to him, Pompous Prick.

8 on the bike and the little one said...

I've mentioned before the multiple occupancy of motor cycles in China, but here is a new record doing the rounds of the Chinese internet.

Turned Off

Thursday, 2 April 2009 10:13 P GMT+08
Sunday morning, I got up. That was an achievement. Wandered into the home office and found that I couldn't connect to Liuzhou's wonderful internet service. "Your user name or password is not valid."

A Liuzhou Peeping Tom got more than he bargained for and had to resort to calling the police himself.

Ming Dynasty Swiss Watch

I once met a young, otherwise sane Chinese chap who was utterly convinced that when explorers broke into Tutankhamen's tomb they found a fully functional colour television. He saw it on a documentary, he claimed.

Spiral Scratch

Saturday, 6 December 2008 1:10 P GMT+08
I commented before on the epic lack of taste of the local planners and, in particular, this nonsense whereby they seemed to have gathered together a team of drunken imbeciles to design a few tubes covered in sticky back plastic.

All Along the Watchtower

When the local government decided to relocate from the city centre to the much criticised new luxury site on the east side of the river, they had to take all the best facilities with them.

We are used to the mind-numbing slowness of China’s internet connection, especially with overseas sites. We are used to having to use proxies to get round their silly blocking. Now we have to get used to something new.

I make absolutely no apology for yet again regaling you with non Liuzhou related content. Nor for for pointing you in the direction of yet another Danwei discovery.

Ho He Hao Ha Ha

Tuesday, 18 November 2008 6:29 P GMT+08
I have to point you in the direction of this story from Danwei. It has nothing at all to do with Liuzhou. In fact, it could hardly be much further away. But it had me crying with laughter.

Dark Star

Less than a month after its triumphant ceremonial unveiling (yawn), Liuzhou's Five Star statue has been decommisioned.

Tacky

Wednesday, 23 July 2008 10:10 P GMT+08
Over 6,000 years of culture and an artistic legacy second to none. The beauty of the ancient architecture such as the Forbidden City, the calligraphy, the literature, the Giant Buddha at Leshan, the Terracotta warriors... I could go on.
