March 25, 2011 at 10:48 PMIt is a very sad thing to contemplate the end of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. I remember my youthful days in Japan. For Golden Week I spent my time walking from Nihon Shimbashi Station near Ginza to Kyoto, trying to replicate the old yearly journeys of the of the regional leaders to the Tokugawa Shogun. I made it as far as Hakone before giving up and taking the shinkansen back (bullet train). Japan, as does China, has a very rich culture and history. They were slowly destroying themselves with abortion and destruction of the family in order to conform to their strictly run corporate society before the nuclear accident anyway. This accident will drastically speed things up. The same thing has happened to my family's country of origin, the Ukraine, where abortion took a foothold on ending their future, Chernobyl simply laid waste to that beautiful land in a much more quicker way. On the Chinese side, I see more couples with two children, this is very heartening and inspiring as I see the country starting to recover from its very misguided and narrow sighted 'One child' policy.

They don't lie over there (unlike the US & Japanese governments...)

March 22, 2011 at 10:28 AMNever ceases to amaze me how I don't see more car accidents around. The Chinese drive so...so...well...poorly. My own experience, I drive slow with caution around pedestrians, however, I notice many horn happy drivers here who like to express themselves with the following attitude of: I'm coming your way, ready or not. It's not too uncommon to see a car go on a sidewalk to pass a slower car on the right...LOL, but hey, I just wonder why I don't see more accidents, they must be doing something right, eh?

March 15, 2011 at 5:07 AMA bit like some pilgrimages for Christianity in the West I suppose. I'd like to know if that is true of Mecca too, but maybe a non-Muslim is not aloud to go there...I don't know.

March 13, 2011 at 12:32 PMMy Chinese in-laws have cast iron stomachs. We used to live right next to the Delaware River on the Jersey side of Philadelphia in what is now a pretty scenic riverside in a town called Riverton, the former summer home of Teddy Roosevelt, anyhu, they would love to go fishing there and catch some pretty big catfish among other things and would think nothing of eating them. Course, my own view of the Delaware and the Philadelphia metropolitan area is a bit squeamish and tainted with visions of pollution. So anybody that can eat fish out of the Delaware and not get sick or die has a cast iron stomach to me.
The area where I live in China is pretty industrial, as is most of the country I guess, afterall, China is the manufacturing capital of the world. Anything that drops off my plate, and even onto a restaurant table, I let it go.

March 11, 2011 at 6:08 AMHad some green grapes from a fruit stand about two weeks ago...was lazy and did not wash them well and got a nice urinary infection that lasted for a week. Green grapes are pretty expensive too, 25 yuan a bag. Good thing about China, they sell most antibotics over the counter and you don't need an expensive middle man like a Doctor to write you a perscription. I don't eat any kind of grapes anymore, in fact, I avoid anything you don't have to peel to eat.
Also, I like 'yu sang' or the Southern Chinese version of 'sushi', but whenever I go, most of the time it will be 'la xi' (拉稀) after eating it. Also had some 'sushi' at a place in Foshan, which ripped my stomach apart too. Guess the real moral is to stay away from raw fish while in China.
One time I went with my brother in law to buy some bread, pastry, and I dropped a piece of pastry on the floor and hurriedly picked it back up...my brother in law just said it' would be fine and I bought it anyway...that wasn't a good idea as immediately after I ate that piece it was rush to the bathroom time.
Course, after a while, one learns what food and places are good to eat without problems. Our school cafeteria is not one of those places, nor is the neighborhood KFC.
