独一无二, 无尽的爱

Although I am no longer living in Beijing I still frequently check one of its expat-based forums for news about life up there. So I was kind of taken aback with the pictures which give yet another indication of how bad the air quality is in the capital. The quote is from someone who used [...]

Didn’t post anything these days because not much happening. It’s rainy season here, meaning it often rains. Got caught in a couple of them recently. The highly expected eclipse was a dud in Shanghai because it was raining that morning. And I got soaked right to the bones on my way to the office [...]

That’s the word that summarises my feeling for the day and night.:tears::mad:
I’ve been in pain since I woke up on Tuesday morning, and have been finding it hard to move about, especially when I have to turn on my waist or bend down/stand up. For walking straight it’s fine. In the evening I couldn’t bear [...]

Last Friday, one of my friends asked me if I had 腊八粥 (Laba porridge). I had no idea what she was talking about, and she then explained to me that it was a Buddhist festival. So here’s the lowdown about the festival:

Every winter, the flu epidemy causes the local authorities a lot of concern. Actually the flu “season” in BJ starts around October and tails off at the end of March. Right now is the peak season. Beijing hospitals are examining about 4,700 new cases daily.
