回家前去了理发学了很多关于中国历史。你知道剪头发时候就不能作别的东西,而且不想听也很难避免。 这位理发师是从四川来的,跑到上海工作。 他分享了很多关于四川,觉得我该去看一看。 他也分享了关于上海我是从来没学过的。 很多年前,上海是个非常笑的城市,只有城华庙的地区是算上海。 他说如果想找到真正的上海人要跑到松江去因为他们保留的文化是比较稀释的。
这次过年就回了一唐家。 应该对我父母和家庭一个很开心的时间,终于可以全家都能一起庆祝新年。 你们的家乡有什么过年的习惯呢?我们红包传统是结婚后才要送红包。羡慕吗?过年也有瓜子,年糕,桔子吃。 你过年是吃什么的?
Had a visitor come through town last week and he’s worked his way up in the business world and made for himself a pretty good nestegg to take an early retirement. Coming out here to Shanghai to do some leadership training, he’s noticed that there’s a huge difference between how sp. homes are run here in regards to the West. There’s certainly a desperation here that the West lacks, but I also fear the East is falling into the same materialistic trap.
Just checking out new books coming out from X’n publishers I’ve been generally disappointed with the fluff they’ve been printing out. It’s a wonder to see how often the most prosperous of nations are the ones that are asleep in the light. Thanks Mr. Keith Green for that last portion of the sentence…
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and I apologize if I didn’t get back to you earlier with a reply. If you weren’t aware of of the earthquake that took place off southern Taiwan just yesterday of a magnituude of 7.1 and 7.0 on the Richter scale, you probably wouldn’t have been aware of the impact it’s had on us poor people here in China. You might be wondering how does the earthquake in Taiwan affect your internet connection in Shanghai? Well, supposedly the earthquake has had a severely deterimental effect on the internet cables in the ocean.
So this morning, I woke my computer from sleep but wasn’t able to get to any sites. I originally figured that it was a broadband issue (as it almost usually is). When I got to work I realized that it wasn’t just my connection at home but EVERYONE had this problem. Then my friend and I deducted that the load times of web pages only affected international sites and local sites didn’t have a problem. You know the feeling you get when you want to find any recent news or if anyone else on the internet has had the same problem, but you can’t access it? It’s like giving me a guitar pick with no guitar…
But fortunately I was able to squeeze some information from some RSS feeds and from word of mouth about the earthquake affecting it. So my question is to why I was able to access the internet at normal speeds last night at midnight, since the earthquake was earlier in the evening? And if they’re to repair the lines, what do they have to do to fix them? If they’re broken do they have to re-lay the lines into the bottom of the Pacific? I mean, how in the world do you do something like that? And how long is that supposed to take? It’s not like I can snorkel under the water surface with a soldering iron or some duct tape and fix a tear in the line? Welcome any thoughts…
Oh yes, if you’re reading this from within the country, you can probably access this news article faster..
