  1. OMG CHAS!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOURS! AWESOME NEWS
  2. like America, you never know what the heck is the meat unless you butcher it yourself
  3. his contract ended, no big deal I loved the comments... "China bashing as the best ticket for a Green Card; even the village idiot will say he wants to go to America because Abraham Lincoln will fight for him!... And with today's attack dogs like Gillian Wong, Joe McDonald, Alexa Olsen hired by the western controlled mouthpiece like Associated Press trolling for stories to smear China..."
  4. I guess that 1% of the time is when she has me so fooled that I don't even realize she is still holding my leash haha. she is always holding your leash, that is why we love them
  5. like I said, reportedly, I have not been to Thailand... yet. It is widely known as the land of enhancement surgery and destination for Chinese girls who want to make money in the oldest profession. Well, thanks for clearing that up for us.
  6. Fat fake breasts in Thailand (is that a woman or a man)? No thanks LOL Though the prostitutes there reportedly are mostly Chinese

  8. Mine was about 300rmb and has held strong for five years now... in the USA they wanted the equivalent of 20000rmb ( and that was the cheapest I could find) ChunMei had one about a year before she came here. Cost about 500 RMB. Last month, while she was in Nanning, the titanium post broke, resulting in the loss of the implant. And the dentist who did it originally had moved his office, and couldn't be located. She had to have another complete implant, this time at a cost of 550 RMB. I've mad an appointment with my dentist for this Thursday morning. My plan is to have a comprehensive exam done, and then get everything fixed that's necessary. Probably take a number of visits, and be expensive, but insurance will cover a lot of it, and I'll feel better knowing that everything is taken care of.
  9. I had a tooth implant here that cost me about 50X less than what it cost in the USA. America health care costs are waaaaaaay above other countries in most cases.
  10. So he has to have a prescription from outside China to get it through customs?
  11. A friend of mine wants to know advice for ordering Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, etc. online and having it delivered to a China address. I have tried these pills with happy results and I told him that Canadian companies do this for many things, but I'm not sure of how this works here in China. I know they sell them at the local pharmacies for 100rmb+ per dose which is wildly expensive compared to online, which is why he asked. Any help (message me if you want)? TIA
  12. Shutting up is a difficult but useful skill in these cases
  13. Philippines possibly to charge against coast guard
  14. What's the huge rush????
  15. OMG, the injustice! "Although he was released from Masanjia in 2010, Mr. Zhang, the man who said he wrote the letter, has vivid memories of producing the plastic foam headstones, which were made to look old by painting them with a sponge. “It was an especially difficult task,” he said. “If the results were not to the liking of the guards, they would make us do them again.” He estimated that inmates produced at least 1,000 headstones during the year he worked on them." IMO, the people should clean their own house before, as they always do, hypocritically attack others. No country should point fingers away from themselves when their own hands are dirty. http://fabiusmaximus.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/20130209-apathy-plato.jpg Prisons should be for rehabilitation.
  16. Thank you kind owner for your uplifting and non-combative words. If you want to argue, I will not join you. You can believe whatever you want but others can just read my words themselves for what I say here. I never said "motivations for their actions in the region are purely defensive and justified." In the spirit of Qu Yuan, have a great Dragon Boat Festival. May your drum beat strong, your oars splash loudly and your zong zi be delicious. Man do they have you brainwashed. Either that or you just like to argue. If you honestly believe that all of China's motivations for their actions in the region are purely defensive and justified you are severely deluded.
  17. I thought this part was interesting from the article I find the wife believes this and tells lies if she thinks it helps our relationship. This is hard to accept from my Western point of view.
  18. essentially it is a sovereignty and defense issue but the greedy hands of capitalism are also involved... sad Western press notice
  19. Especially for those politicians that seem to have no connection with their constituents
  20. come on over baby, whole lotta shaking goin' on! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yRdDnrB5kM Nanning is happening!
  21. I'm going this coming week. I made this little plan (copy and pasted from several sites) and I would like some feedback from those who have gone there before or just know about it. Yueyang is the spiritual anchor of Hunan province. Since ancient times it has been reputed as the land of talented poets and scholars. On the bank of Miluo River, Yueyang city, you can pay homage to Quyuan, one of the most revered patriot poet living during Warring Period (over 2000 years ago), drowned himself here when his country fell. What can be more authentic than experience Dragon Boat Festival in its hometown? Yueyang International Dragon Boat Festival Place: South Lake in Yueyang, Hunan Province Activities: Every year it attracts more than twenty dragon boat teams from as far a field as the United States, Canada, Australia and others who come to attend the competition. Other activities such as tasting delicious foods, making zongzi (pyramid-shaped glutinous rice wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves) competition, the tour to Donting Lake, Yueyang Pavilion and other local competitions and activities are also held. The Miluo River, the place where the story about Qu Yuan (339BC-278 BC) drowning in the Miluo River' happened. Many historic sites lie alongside the Miluo River, which is located on the east side of Dongting Lake. The famous patriot Qu Yuan who lived during the Warring States Period is worthy of mention here as he finally plunged himself into the Miluo River. The Quyuan Tomb and Quzi Temple are top destinations among the cultural relics left in this area. Each year people along the Miluo River hold a grand Dragon Boat Race in memory of Qu Yuan during the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. Qu Yuan was born in about 340 BC in a noble family at Leping Village, Zigui County, Hubei Province. He was smart in management and had good memory. He became an important official when he was young. He changed politics and attached importance to the enforcement of laws, which were against by some of the nobles. Qu Yuan was expelled to southern China and arrived at Mi Luo, where he spent his last nine years of life. According to legend, his masterpiece “Li Sao”, “Jiu Ge” and some part of “Jiu Zhang” were written near Mi Luo River. On Chinese Lunar Calendar May 5th, Qu Yuan jumped into Mi Luo River with a stone. It is said that, after Qu Yuan jumped into the river, people along the rivers rowed boats rescue him. Gradually, it has become a tradition to have dragon boat competition to memorize great patriot Qu Yuan. The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a huge reptile in the river had stolen the rice. The spirit then advised them to wrap the rice in silk and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it into the river. Hence the making of zong zi. The well-known Yueyang Pavilion is one of the three famous pavilions in South China. It is located above the city's Western Gate with Dongting Lake located in the west. Its architecture is very special because the whole building is made of wood and not brick or stone, with just four pillars to support the entire structure. Over the centuries, many famous people have left their mark here such as the famous politician and writer Fan Zhongyan (989-1052) who lived during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). ---at the Railway Station, you can take bus no. 15 to get there. China's second largest freshwater lake Dongting Lake is located southwest of downtown Yueyang. Its beauty lies in the width of the water surface. This is especially so at dusk when nocturnes are sung under the moon from fisherman boats, giving rise to a sense of romance and poetry! The Lake is sometimes known as 'the taker and sender of the Yangtze River'. The most famous scene in the lake is an island called Junshan. Junshan Island in the lake faces Yueyang Lou (Pavilion). Here visitors can discover many small pavilions, ancestral temples and a number of wells. There are ferries to take the passengers back and forth and the ride takes about an hour.
