Kunming adding 900 vehicles to its roads daily
Posted byNorman, I'm interested to know where exactly Tim called Chinese people "stupid"
It seems pretty clear to me that he is referring to humanity in general.
Also, I would be interested to hear more about your theory of positive feelings and its relationship to reduction in air pollution.
I think it's pretty clear that some people around here are indeed as stupid as he fears....

Posted byMaybe if we stopped calling Chinese people stupid and started being positive, that might make some headway on the problem.
Nah, much easier to simply despise Chinese people. Hurrah for expats!

Posted byI'm sure something will finally be done about the poor air quality (in cities around the world) when drivers can no longer see the car ahead of them, because that is a safety issue. A real, palpable threat...Someone please assure me that humans are not this stupid.

Interview: Zhang Yifang on UFOs and aliens in China
Posted byHey all, interesting conversation.
I think it's ridiculous to assume we're the only ones in the universe. Undeniably there IS massive evidence of UFOs, but I don't believe all UFOs are extra-terrestrial.
just my 2c
Above all, PEACE to every one of you!

Posted byHalf-way to Cheng Gong is not very convenient for ordinary Kunming people. Do the planners assume everyone has a car?
Event: Australian beers and barbecue at Chapter One
Posted byFunny you should ask...I talked Ai Hua into buying a few heaters, as I noticed the bars here are not really at the ideal temp for lager drinking. Hopefully they will arrive on time. Looking at getting Coopers in the future, as I am quite partial to it myself, but in the meal time will have to make do. Boags is on its way though for sure.

Posted byJonathan, can you arrange for some heating and humidifiers on the night to create the illusion of an Australian summer? Might help the beers go down a bit better.
S_zhongguo, that's a glowing endorsement for burnt vegemite :/

Posted byI'm very happy to say I qualify for 3 out of the 4 - so i'm set. Although i now wish i didn't drag a sixer of Oz brews from ChengDu this weekend...
I should point out to kickkick too, just as Guiness outside of Ireland, Coopers Pale anywhere beyond 300km from Adelaide tastes like a jar of burnt vegemite (possibly even iSnack2.0).

Interview: Zhang Yifang on UFOs and aliens in China
Posted byI can't help but notice that the primary UFO-sighting locations in China--Heilongjiang, Xinjiang, and Yunnan, are on China's Russian, Central Asian, and Southeast Asian borders, which will be heavily militarized to begin with, and are also I believe the primary locations for many of China's military training bases.
Also, props to Zaphod for having an awesome name. Look forward to seeing him back in the Betelgeuse system.

Posted byJonno, you're a damn kiwi mate. Suppose the Kiwi beer guy doesn't sound nearly as impressive as Aussie beer guy :)
Anyway, hopefully you get every Aussie from the region to head in and try the good stuff!
