since you added the link to the original chinese version you could have taken the pain to double check about the translation: the distance in the chinese version is exactly only 10% of the translated version, that is 16.000 km, which still sounds a bit too much, but after all they took the detour into the smoky village in iraq...

Rumor is,,, In China Justice has a heavy hand!
Justice is frequently much different to the two parties involved.
The crazy lady probably thinks is Justice she got money from those rich WANG BA DAN!
Had the issue been pushed, someone could have possibly trumped up a disturbing the peace or some other baloney charge. Costing more money!

The locals ALWAYS think is Justice when a non local pays someone in the community. In USA, I got my Semi-Truck (18 wheeler) stuck. Long story short, the locals did very well!

Good luck to you, Todd

International Todd!

No california fitness? Seriously? The one at the place is the best gym in Beijing...it doesn't have a pool, but it boasts a dedicated spinning room, yoga, pilates, ballet, taichi, body pump and other classes. There are a ton of free weights, lots of cardio machines and plenty of natural light...def the best gym i looked at in the city

Yo how 'bout some addresses and contact info mofugga?

You know it's some crap journalism when I can't even verify in your story whether you made the god damn place up or not.

Step it up Tiffany Wang! Half your blog entries don't even have addresses! Yes, I could google, but Tiffany Wang, why do you make me? Why? Aren't we supposed to be helping everybody out? I mean, great, you've profiled this dude, but I'd love to know where he works, how to get in touch with him. Otherwise you're printing filler.

BTW - this classified might be of interest:

http://www.thebeijinger.com/classifieds/2010/02/12/13-month-international-Fitness-First-membership-48k

"Just bought a Fitness First membership and two hrs later learned I was moving to Shanghai and they wouldn't refund me, but I can transfer to another person with no fee.
This membership works in any normal Fitness First in the world (except the platinum clubs) so would be perfect for anyone who goes between Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia or anywhere else internationally.
In Beijing the club is in Chaoyangmen at China Life Tower (renshou dasha) and has a classroom with group X classes and yoga, jam, spinning, a weight room, bikes, treadmills etc., pool and beauty parlour.
It works out at RMB370 per month - about half what you could get a monthly membership for in HK.
PM me if interested.
Thanks."

i am a chinese , and i really shame of our media, state-owned means party owned.

"Why aren't they proud that Japan's MEN are marrying chinese girls? "

i think, the reason is that our society dominated by male chauvinism. and some man believe women are thire property.

be happy

Just voted, and would like to point out a slight discrepancy:

the first Q is for best Contemporary Chinese -- one of the choices is Bei, at the Opposite House.

the last Q of the survey is for Restaurant of the Year (non-Chinese) -- one of the choices is Bei, at the Opposite House.

What's the deal?

We noticed this seeming inconsistency as well -- but upon closer examination, it does make sense.

Bei is one of those restaurants that doesn't easily fall into a category, as it servs pan-Asian cuisine, including Chinese cuisine.

Secondly, our awards ballot is made by a panel of 200 nominators, and our philosophy is to respect the nominators' choices, unless of course a place that made the ballot has recently closed.

The nomination panel sawit fit to name Bei to both Contemporary Chinese and Restaurant of the Year (Non-Chinese) ... so we let it stand.
