As from today, the taxi fares in Shanghai have risen up. The initial fare has gone up from 11 kuai to 12 kuai. Similarly, every additional km will see the fare go up by 2.4 kuai instead of the 2.1 kuai we used to have. It’s going to be quite expensive for me since when [...]

Taken shamelessly from Good Morning China!
BEIJING TRAFFIC: as American Football
To help you understand Beijing traffic, and perhaps to one day navigate its hazards, I’ve come up with the following analogy. I hope you find it helpful.
BEIJING TRAFFIC: as American Football
Traffic lights: BAD QUARTERBACK
In Beijing, a traffic light is like a quarterback- an extremely bad one. [...]

This is not from me, but it’s too damn funny not to post it. It’s definitely something that you might see in Beijing.
As I may have mentioned before, traffic in Beijing is its own art form. The city is adding thousands of cars per - I don’t even know, week? Which means you have a [...]

This evening some stupid son of a b…h bumped his car onto mine and drove on without any regards to the damages inflicted to my car. I am so F..KING pissed right now.
I went to Flic en Flac to have dinner with a good friend of mine. He wanted to [...]

I have recently acquired a new pet peeve. I take the motorway to go to work and get back home everyday. Here, in our small island, the speed limit is a mere 90km/hr. Which is easily exceeded by most cars and lorries on the road.

Forgot [...]

My uncle’s finally gone back home after staying over here for more than a week. Don’t get me wrong. I like having my uncle here, and him staying over at my place is not problem. I gladly gave him my bed and slept on the sofa bed (which is too soft and not very good [...]

Last week, I finally bought an electronic public transportation card in Beijing (the blue card in the picture 交通 一卡通). When I was in Shanghai, I found the SH Public Transportation Card (or simply 上海公共交通卡) very convenient. After buying the card for 25rmb, you just had to replenish the prepaid credits everytime u used it. [...]

Just a couple of pictures I took from the internet to show the mass of people who swarm the ticket offices to buy their train tickets to go back home in time for the Spring festival. These 2 pictures are of the Beijing West railway station. There’s no way the Chinese are going to [...]

As I moved from SH to BJ, I used a company to pick up my big luggage from my room in SH and deliver it to my new room in BJ. I was supposed to receive my luggage last Saturday, just before the official Golden Week starts, but never got any news from them. Today [...]
