I had the same thought. What is creative about doing yet another steak house that simply happens to be 13 floors higher than the one across the street?

As impressive as China Grill is, it took months before people even started going there. With all the hype about CW3, and the fact that it is on the "right side of the street", perhaps this one will take off a bit sooner, but they are not going to be selling out 3 months in advance because of a kitchen full of Australian steaks and an even better view of Beijing's pollution.

i love the friendship cream. i bought it for 2.5 kuai and it got rid of some eczema that was forming on my hands. a little goes a long way since it can be a bit greasy if you're putting on gloves but it's easily my new favorite moisturizers.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a cut-and-paste job on a rather more extensive interview that Mr. Tihany gave to several Beijing publications simultaneously. A couple of these questions were ones I put to him. Few of them were Mr. Monroe's. Would be nice if he and Agenda would give credit where credit's due.

I had something similar happen to me when a friend was moving out of her apartment.

My friend called me over to help her move since the crazy landlady was ranting and raving and hanging around and just generally making things difficult.

To make a long story short, we were basically held hostage at the apartment all night until my friend agreed to pay nearly 1,000 rmb to get the landlady and her husband to let us leave. And did the police do anything about the landlady physically assaulting my friend and I? Of course not! Not even when it happened in their presence.

At least we got out alive and ok, but being at the mercy of a crazy/disturbed person is truly frightening.

The incident happened last Christmas, it should have been noted in the post.

I hate this stuff! Why is it that Chinese can create a problem and we foreigners must pay this "compensation"? A similar thing happened to me. It seems that people just wait to create a problem and even if you act like a saint, you still must pay for their foolishness? We have a saying, "What goes around, comes around."

Yes, things like this makes me hate living in China at times. They attack their own Chinese people if they side with the things that are right. They shout at them, "You are Chinese" and try to make them feel bad. People who did not see a thing will get involved. It is just a shame. I don get it, how can China ever truly develop when you have shameless people always grubbing for money. In this country where "Face" is all important, it seems that they are the "Thick-Faced" irresponsible individuals that we must pacify.

Ah well, all that being said Merry Christmas!
