This is just taking what's already being done in many places across Beijing and legitimizing it. When I used to live in Fangshan taxis would wait near Liuliqiao and once they were full they would leave. At worst its just finding another way to take a cut of the taxi drivers cash. At best its pretty cool to see law reflecting what people actually do. I hope they aren't trying to make this normal for every cab ride though..
lmao turn texi into buses cool idea coz i have to wait hours for a texi and if i get one the guy would trip to say he is not going my way whats up with that???
McD's even in America has never been the healthiest food however it is relatively safe because it's always monitored far more than if you're eating at other kinds of restaurants and homes. McD's has a higher level of standards because it's wide spread and scrutinized more than any other in the industry. The food is inspected before and after processing in the factories and before and after cooking at the stores and before and after being served. The incidences of mishaps and tragedy are rare. The food always tastes the same and really actually is always the same. Yes you will get cancer, you might die from a brain annuerysm and you will get fat and have diabetes and lower your lifespan and when you die it possibly will be attributed primarily to the fast food that you've eaten, however it's a longterm issue. You'll rarely ever die or suffer in the short-term from McD's food except from social issues and lack of productivity from over-all energy and health depletion that usually occurs very gradually, progressive but slow. It's a proven fact that disgruntled customers almost always return to being loyal customers shortly after the incident because of addiction to the food, convenience, and consistent quality and service :0)
I don´t really think that a bunch of nearly naked girls walking on the stage is a major issue here, Marilynmai :H . What bothers me the most after reading this blog is a question of when chinese would start thinking creativitely. Do something about this, professors! Your pure-minded students seriously need some creativities in their heads.
Any schools with a bilingual curriculum primary to high school, at around 50,000RMB per year??? Not everyone has a company to look after there children's education!

The Midwestern drawl gets me every time. Funny bit about the accented morning greeting. Then again, are you really so sure "zao" is what he was going for? On certain days, the alternative might be more appropriate.

Re: Free Football: Join Team Beijinger Tonight!
Conde_,
If you are interested in playing then join Team Beijinger. You don't need a team already you just need to want to play.
As for your question, I have no idea how to answer that. But all nationalities are welcome to join the team. We're a very multicultural group.
Re: Free Football: Join Team Beijinger Tonight!
I'm interested to! But I do not have any team. Is it works with nationalities?
Best Regards,
