China
Even the poor apes are victims of melamine poisoning through contaminated milk...
I have another spin on this particular scandal, which makes you think a little.
Two gorillas may be the latest victims of China's contaminated milk scandal.
They show early signs of having kidney stones, local media have claimed.
Watching Rocket Launch on TV
Yes, folks after more phone calls to the office, the TV came back. Still I think with it's problem which all along I thought was in the signal. But, at least I can watch movies when I work out how to get the DVD player connected and try and fathom out all the Chinese instructions. (Chinese student will be helpful!)
I want my TV back.
When one comes to teach English in China we are often provided an apartment - furnished, albeit a little sparsely. We get a television, and a computer. Last semester I had a good TV - upstairs on the 5th floor. This semester I've scored an apartment on the first floor. Hardly any stairs to climb to get to my "home away from home."
International talk like a pirate day???
This is quite a bizarre story. And I will start from the beginning. Today, midafternoon, sirens started blaring in the grounds of the university. They would stop, then start again. It sounded very much like Air Raid Sirens, and so much out of place here. Everyone seemed to go about their own business as if the deafening siren was not blaring. I asked a few students and no one seemed to know. Or care. Odd, I thought.
The Chinese milk scandal is despicable and disgusting - dead and ill babies...
The Chinese Sanlu/ Baidu milk scandal is despicable and disgusting to say the least - 3 dead babies, 150 with kidney failure and another 6,244 taken ill. Those responsible will ultimately pay with their lives in China!
I return to China
There are moments when I question my sanity! When things go wrong especially. I have returned to China, and in my first few days have endured some frustrating events reminding me of the challenges I faced when I first arrived back in February.
2008 Summer Olympics
Michael Phelps the United States champion swimmer had a wonderful Olympic games wining 8 gold medals. While the United States track and field team which normally dominates had a disappointing Olympic games.
