Haha! Perhaps it's time to list them into an article. Full Comment>>

Well I am definitely NOT going to complain about my neighbours. May they drill through concrete walls and floors at any desired hour, move furniture around at 2am, take never ending baths from 10pm onwards, tear signs from my door, steal my bicycle, light fireworks at any time, any place and they can even take a pee ...

The kid would probably have had a better life with the new adoptive parents rather than with these losers. One kind of hopes the child gets to stay with the buyers! Full Comment>>

This is actually a pretty good report and providing comparisons to overseas tourist spots is interesting. I visited the Wudalianchi national park during Golden Week and I thought this was value for money. Then again this volcanic heritage site is a little far removed from the more popular sites mentioned in the ... Full Comment>>

They had that movie "Snakes on a Plane." Might as well run this as the sequel: "Rats on a Plane." Nice to know that us poor passengers in cattle class economy are not favored by traveling rats. Adds a touch of danger and excitement to being upgraded don't you think? Full Comment>>

Gee it worked. I still can't add comments to the other blog. Full Comment>>

I have tried a number of times to comment on your writing but for some technical reason my comments would not submit!! Writing that evokes a chuckle is well written. I nearly choked on my breakfast when I read the phrase: Think Liberace goes for tea in Versailles!! Immediate pic in my head that screamed ... Full Comment>>

2nd Blog Contest - My favourite blog = My Life as an Alien. Part 2 was also damn fine writing. Full Comment>>

The family thought 20,000 RMB would solve all the problems. What price honor? maybe the whole thing was a scam that went wrong. Full Comment>>

Complicated and intricate surgery with a .....chainsaw!! Full Comment>>

So...ahhmm...errr...just how smart do you have to be to play mahjong? Full Comment>>

More amazing is the fact that Chinese drivers actually practice! I guess whatever they learn is left on the rooftop once they hit the road. Full Comment>>

Suggestive adjectives? Sensational? The President of China is doing a sensational job don't you think? Oops...lock me up. The amount of food wastage at a Chinese wedding is obscene. Uh oh! Did it again. Cuff me! Full Comment>>

That's gonna come back and bite her at feeding time!! Full Comment>>

Yeah you're right. Telling a white lie to the locals is an act of politeness. I guess it probably goes both ways. maybe if we ask them do they like tender steak on a regular basis BBQ'ed "properly" they might lie to us and say "yes". Then again........... May I take this opportunity though to ... Full Comment>>

Well explained JayKnox although I am not sure I would agree about the extent of lying. I eat western food at home and cook my own steak and salad, pizza, roast lamb and vegies, spaghetti, BLT's and toasted sandwiches. When I go out I also have a selection of food I do like but I haven't found anything that makes me ... Full Comment>>

I'm sure they will find a use for the stuff. Don't underestimate the ingenuity of a thief. Clean ears, clean nostrils, clean between the toes, wrap their kids in even more cotton wool to protect them from...from...ahhhh.....life in general. "Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton, ... Full Comment>>

That comment's a bit 'on the nose'! Full Comment>>

Oh yeah that music in the town square. I forgot about that. And how could I! And yes, the ghettoblasters on evening walkers. Weren't Walkmans and earphones a Chinese invention? Full Comment>>
