No more Chinglish Beijing said…
Well, gradually all these will be improved. The standard will be up to international level after Olympic 2008 as long as everyone is willing to follow. The public behaviour is also critical. China government does lately announce new rules against the inappropriate personal behaviour of general public such as no spitting, essential queue up habit, no smoking in non-smoking areas, and prohibiting the dumping of rubbish on the ground etc…
2 commentsDouble Tenth
“I always stand firm against corruption and that no one was above the law, including myself and my family….”
Chen Shui Bin said it today in his public speech on Taiwanese National Day.
How can he say that?
Today is Double Tenth, (October 10th) the National Day of Taiwan. Over two millions of Taiwanese demand Chen to quit his presidency during today’s protest. When people are still protesting against his corruption activities, but he can still speak up, and protect himself without senses.
A 90 years old lady was interviewed on TV. She stated she will wear the full red costume until the day Chen steps down. Many stores were closed today as the owners allowed their employees to join the protest. Food stalls gave away free food and drinks for the support of protestors. What you can see on TV is how the red party tried to mess up the event that Chen organised for National Day.
Taiwanese are very brave in my eyes. They have courage to voice up what their want, and not easy to give up. This is how I experienced and saw the people I met in Taiwan the past five years. They have been through so many difficulties regardless of political issues or economical issues, therefore I wouldn’t be surprise their aggressive attitude towards the latest protest against Chen. Chen definitely won’t step down easily, but if he did; the next candidate would be another issue for the current situation……

I do adore the united spirit of Taiwanese on certain level, the way they speak up, the way they voice what they want….

Lost and found at the Hong Kong airport
It’s interesting news I listened from radio news channel this morning.
Guess! What belongings do people lose lately at the HK airport?
The following answers are from the Lost and Found office of the Airport Authority. They are…….
They found large number of glasses and mobiles. I still don’t think this is unusual, but they also found large number of fresh fish meatball and moon cakes! Well, Mid Autumn Festival is coming, so travellers like to bring them to their friends and relatives in overseas for gifts. However, the gift box of moon cake is quite big; it’s hard to imagine how to lose it? I suppose people just leave it somewhere before they go on board. Fresh fish meatball? Who can guarantee it will stay fresh after 13 hours of long fight without freezer? It must be kidding! I don’t think people will travel with it if they visit somewhere in Asia, because it’s so common in most of Asian countries. I persume their destinations must be somewhere cannot get Chinese food easily.
I have very good memory. I hardly lose anything, so any of answers above I also can’t imagine.
No commentsI want to hear good news…
I really feel sorry for the latest news of London Heathrow airport. Is there no good news out there? It seems we only hear about the war and confusion of various in any corner of the world everyday. It’s kind of depressing. I guess I did hang out quite often in Heathrow airport for several years so I do feel bad to hear this news.
Well, anyway it must not be fun to travel by planes these days. And, I am going to take a long hours flight very soon. LoL
I quite like watching video news on Reuters though….
