Floods in Shanghai

admin | 25 August, 2008 11:40

Uh-Oh... Better get MAACO...

There are floods happening all over the city today in about 60 different streets around Shanghai. There's been torrential downpour for the last several weeks here. The lightning and thunder doesn't help with the sleeping or waking up easy thing, but because of this flood (pictured above is view of the exit outside of Hongqiao Road Metro Station), I can't go to work.

This is kind of a good thing, I was feeling a bit under the weather anyway. Looks like Shanghai is under the weather as well.

Just in time for the Shanghai World Expo, and a great way to say goodbye to the Beijing Olympics.

Zhong Guo, Jia You!!!

Typhoon In China

admin | 29 July, 2008 14:14

A lot of water, a lot of typhoon.

7/28, 7:30 AM: Zoe and I head over to the gym and we notice a strange gusts of winds blowing through our complex. The clouds are moving at a super fast speed. It's hot, but cool at the same time and it's been sunny way too much for the last months.

This must mean only one thing...

7/28, 10:00 PM: All is warm and dry outside like normal. We're walking back to our apartment with bags of groceries from Carrefour and some shoes we got from the underground market near the 2 metro stop when all of the sudden.

WHOOOOOOOOSHHHHH!!

It's sudden downour. The open doors in our house shut loudly... BLAM! Oh! The windows are open! It's a fury of wind and rain for 20 minutes...

This must mean only one thing... A typhoon has finally hit Shanghai. It's that time of the year!

7/29, today: cloudy, cool, strong winds, but nothing that could knock over people, cars or buildings, but stong enough that you know the weather has changed a ton. Kind of feels like Fall.

Actually, I like the typhoon, I can actually breathe again after all this humidity!

Not a bad tune. One of the few heartfelt Hip-Hop tunes I've heard out of China.

Response to Sharon Stone by Chinese Actor

Zhao Hui Nan responds to Sharon Stone (In Chinese and English)

Here's another update... Sharon Stone has a change of heart?

I hope it is her and not her publicist.

I'm done talking about this. She's making money and popularity points off off my posts.
