独一无二, 无尽的爱

Winter is here, and the temperature has been falling steady since Mid-November. It snowed lightly yesterday morning. No need to tell you that I was sleeping soundly and didn’t notice anything. It is quite surprising to find snow in BJ that early during winter though.
Last year when I was in SH, while most people [...]

I am registered with the Beijing office. I have been there twice, the last time being yesterday (Saturday). There are 3 people working there, on Saturdays only one of them work half-day. The difference between the Beijing office and the Shanghai office, is that the SH office is larger and has many people [...]

This is from a mail I got from a friend. Just reproducing it down there. It is quite funny, does have some logic in it and is definitely misogynistic. Pictures taken from the site Fotosearch.
1- Men earn more than women for the same job.
False. Such skewed statistics as “women earn about 75 cents [...]

I went to Fragrant Hill on Wednesday with a friend - she’s been in Beijing for some 5-7 years but had never climbed the mountain during autumn. It was a nice day - clear sky, relatively warm temperature (around 11C). However, I couldn’t find sleep until way after 5am, which meant I only had less [...]

This afternoon, I went to BLCU for an early dinner. I was exhausted from my trip to Fragrant Hill, and was looking forward to go home and rest. After having a bite at the canteen, I passed by a notice board where you normally find people posting Tutoring or Room for Rent adverts. [...]

Here are a few of the shows I am watching during my stay in China:

我爱我家 (I love my family) - a show about a Beijing family in the 90s, with the grandfather, the uncle and auntie, the kids… all living in a small house. It’s a show that when I was doing Intermediate Chinese, one [...]

Yesterday, Saturday, was a cold day. Lots of winds (apparently gusts of winds of level 5-6 on Chinese rating), and the predicted warm day (16C) that I had on my AccuWeather plug-in turned out to be inaccurate for once. Not that I was too surprised. On Friday night my Chinese friend told me [...]

This week we have a forum about Cooperation between China and African countries in Beijing. The other night, as I was going through Wangfujing, I saw an exhibition of, or rather an introduction to, the African countries through some posters, and took some pictures. As I was taking the pictures of [...]

I have been thinking of this since I saw the post on Aline’s blog (see here) but as I was not sure how to put this into Chinese, and try and get to hug some cute Chinese girls, I didn’t do it. However, yesterday, as I was going to [...]

As previously mentioned, I went to Houhai Zoo again last Saturday for a friend’s birthday. It was a bit of a let down as many people didn’t show up in the end. Had the usual drinks and met some more people. I later learnt (yesterday actually) that one of them [...]
