My son love it, although can’t see why. The show is on Chinese tv daily and mainly consists of two wolves trying to eat a flock or sheep and failing. A bit like Roadrunner and Coyote but a bit more violent. The female Wolf always hits her partner with a frying pan and the sheep find painful ways of fending off the wolves. For me it was fun for about 5 minutes, but after seeing one episode there’s no point in watching the other 300+!

Anyway, it’s not for me…it’s for the kids. Perhaps there will be a translated version and will hit Western airwaves in the near future!

She looks just like him!

Chinese Actress Gong Li

Well since China’s Outrage is in the news, Gong Li was also in the press for becoming a Singapore Citizen. She’s been called a traitor as well as other things, even though she’s promoted China and Chinese films as an actress for over 20 years.

Now that she’s from Singapore (which her husband is from too), it means that she’s been excluded from the delegate list of the China Film Association (CFA). She’ll probably find she’s been excluded from other things too, as well as paying a higher rate of tax in China since she’s now a foreigner – similar to my wife who is Chinese and then gained French identity.

Things like this smack of double standards, since Jackie Chan who was born and lives in Hong Kong, is the elected vice-chairman of the CFA! I suppose no one can touch Jackie Chan since he’s so powerful.

Curse of the Golden Breasts

I saw the film Curse of the Golden Dragon which stars Gong Li and since it’s a Chinese language film and I don’t speak Chinese very well, I had to judge the film on the images only. All I can say is the director of the film must have an obsession with big breasts since all the women were well endowed with bursting cleavage and some nipslips, especially Gong Li herself!

Gong Li Video

I found a video of her briefly topless in the film “Miami Vice”:

Now before you start searching Google for the pictures, she only posed for the cover and an interview…since Playboy’s a serious read anyway right!

It’s not really a big deal after seeing the photos, just a normal couple playing around, it’s nothing like the Edison Chan Scandal…although I’m wondering if her boyfriend has an ass fetish!  I thought I better write something as I’m getting alot of hits to the site for no reason.

Zhang Ziyi Video

I found a video of her naked in the film “The Legend of the Black Scorpion”:

Anyway, on the most recent visit I got a bit drunk (as the booze was free also) and kept on resting my hand on the hot plate! I put my saki on it once as well and it bubbled like a bugger! I think if someone wanted to have this type of restaurant in England, they’d go out of business very quickly! There’s a huge drinking culture in England and would imagine that people only go to the Restaurant for the beer and combined with a hot plate infront of you, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Also reminds me of a story from a mate in Leeds. Whenever he walks past the window of his local pub, the landlord automatically pours him a pint – regardless if he was going to go in or not. He then feels obligated to go in and put it on his tab (which I’m told is now a 4 figure number!).

Outdoor Festival.

Chef cooking up some sticky rice with sweetcorn? Wrapped in a bamboo leaf – really nice.

Not sure what this was, but I ate it anyway.

Please note that:

• He’s wearing plimsols,
• No ropes/wires attached to his body,
• He’s got a live drill in one hand whilst hanging on with the other hand,
• There’s a 50 foot drop below!

I can’t tell you how dangerous this looked and to do this everyday must make your life expectancy pretty low! He was only 20, so I was wondering what happened to his “older” work mates. Get another job, my friend!

Anyway, I’ve just come back from the Nanning Outdoor Food Festival and had a great time. Loads of food on offer and free samples, so I guess if I ever was going to get diarrhea on this trip then now would be the time to get it.

I tried snails, sweet potato soup (really nice), barbaque meat, sweet cornbread with sticky rice, pork dumplings, sweetcorn on a stick, another sticky rice that looked like a dog turd, sweet pork on a stick and bamboo.

I also managed to get my picture taken whilst stuffing my face with cornbread. Three guys stood around me taking photos and was told that my photo will be in tomorrow’s three daily papers – hmmm, I’ll look out for it.

I’m still in Guanghi having celebrated the CNY but having overeaten and perhaps having ate the wrong food – I ended up with food poisoning over a two day period and it was getting worse. A rickty ambulance with sirens blaring was called and I stumbled into the back – noticing that I drew a pretty big crowd on my exit!

I won’t bore you with the details but ended up with a shot in my ass, blood sample taken along with a poo stool. I was given this 4cm x 4cm plastic cup in which to make my “deposit” which I found pretty difficult to do, especially since I had to use a Chinese Toilet (I’ll write about my hatred for Chinese toilet’s another time, although in the mean time I’d like to question how old/disabled/pregnant women can use it…).

My white blood cell count were double the size of my red blood cells, so I got hooked up with a drip containing two bottles of saline solution and one bottle of glucose.

The hospital was clean, staff friendly and generally it was a pleasant experience in contrast to the situation I was in. I’m pretty much recovered now, ready for my trip back to HK.

Food ranged from duck, pork pieces, sticky rice, prawns, fried vegetables, cakes, soups – basically loads of stuff. Then the bride and groom came over, gave us each a sake and gave us each cheers. I think drinking 200+ sake’s, they ended up pretty legless! It was quite a noisy affair with Karaoke singers, people shouting around which I think was linked to the free beer/sake and there was even a fight.

Then it was all over in one hour! I was still hungry so ended up going out to eat dumplings and favourite sticky sweet sticky rice.

I didn’t manage to show up this year, but went last year to see what was going on. I remembered it was quite peaceful and as most people were carrying lighted candles, it looked beautiful to watch.

I was interested to read that in the weeks after news filtered through of the event in 1989, one million people took to the streets of Hong Kong in protest – the largest civil demonstration ever seen in the city with roughly one in six of the population joining the protest!

By Cathay Pacific Airways closing a deal to take over smaller rival Dragon Air, it’ll benefit from access to routes between Hong Kong and mainland China.

Wondering if my Dragon Air points will be safe!

I’m glad we did our Chinese New Year shopping we in advance as last time we left it to the last minute and the supermarket was jam packed.

Talking of jam-packed, here’s a nice video clip from Japan of the MTR subways.

Well the “big day” finally came and went! We had only 2 days to prepare and it actually went pretty smoothly, I guess it’s a factor of having no nerves as we didn’t have time to be stressed or to think about what was going to happen during the Wedding Day.

So everything was a bit rushed around, we bought our clothes a day before and rings etc., It turn out alright though and we got a video recording being developed which recorded the whole day from when I wake up to the party at the end.

I didn’t know what the day was going to turn out like, but it started with me in a hotel room, waiting for partner to get ready. Then went to her father’s house to collect her in a personal car (got x6 arranged!). Then had to pay money to enter the house/room, then had to serve tea to her father. Then I was supposed to carry her down the stairs, but since we were on the 6th floor – it wasn’t really possible!

Then went to the hotel room and her Aunt and Uncle put some nuts and egg on the bed and changed the covers to red colour. Then, we took a tour around the city and then had lunch.

After this we prepared for the part and found that 160 people were attending (many family of partner’s father, who we never met). Anyway, we received small packets of money which is part of the tradition – so that was good!

Then we had a wedding type ceremony in front of everyone, had to stamp on some balloons and then exchange rings and then talk. This was something I couldn’t do in Chinese, but partner tried to translate. Then I had to sing a love song in Chinese, which was pretty difficult! But it was fun.

Then we sat down to eat and changed clothes. We didn’t have much time to eat as we had to say cheers to everyone with white wine. Then we offered tea to everyone and in exchange gave us some more money. It was a shame as the food looked really nice (sea food, pork cuts, chicken etc.,) but we never had time to sit down and enjoy it as we were up and about all the time.

After serving tea we had to wait near the exit doors and wait for everyone to leave and say thanks and give sweets to them.

The day was really long from 7am to 11pm, but was certainly an experience and went really well.
