Another Month Another Chinese Haircut
Posted by w_thames_the_d on April 25, 2011
Got my haircut tonight so once again I had to venture off to the local salon travelblog.org where sampan my trusty hair master cutter man should be waiting for me funnycoloring.com unfortunately, upon arriving he was not perched on any of the stools nor sneaking a smoke with his ilk, which does’n’t matter as he is not worth much of a shit lately (btw I’ve worked 15 days striaght and in a shitty mood) so Dim sum is gone and get an ‘old hand’ as the Chinese say , not knowing that that fking phrase went out of use at about the time blacks were considered 4/5 of a vote to their owners, but I digress. So I’m, pissed but tired and Im like ok, just give me the old hand. So some guy who looks over 30 wobbles over english.cri.cn And Im scared shitless, thinking he’s going to pull some David Carridine crap with me and slash my face or something. But the guy is cool and its almost hypnotic staring into those dull white eyeballs. soulsword.com so the old guy grunts like ‘hey ‘playa’ you filthy barbarian, you down for a cut?” and im freaked out by those pusy peepers so i’m like ‘yeah Ma jang, you old man. strap on some Depends cuz you aint stopping till i look pimp….” So the old guy gets after it. I pull out my phone to show him how i like my locks, and again he grunts and then like a freaking ninja, he does his stuff. he’s taking so much time i wanna kick his zipper, I’m thinking come on uncle joe you’re moving kinda slow. and this old guy just keeps wheezing and doing his thing and humming some crazy Chinese tune he probably learnt in between ass kickings at some god forsaken village in Gansu about 50 years ago. So he’s going on and on and just about the time i wanna yank the shears from his crumpled up old fingers and give him what for, he’s done. he asks for my cell so once again i show him the pic and he touches up my cut a bit then the old sob backs up and bows and spins me around in the chair…. and all Im thinking is wtf did the old man do to me.. my new ‘do toonpool.com |

China’s Energy Demand Exceeds Supply- Problems for The Summer of ‘011
Posted by w_thames_the_d on April 25, 2011
From wantchinatimes.com ” A large portion of China could face serious problems in electricity supply given the warmer-than-average weather experienced so far this year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission. Increasing demand for electricity supply will most likely result in supply shortages in the eastern, northern and southern parts of the country, the commission reported on its official website. Hong Fu-yuan, president of Formosa Chemicals and Fibre Corp, said that several Taiwan-based corporations doing business in China are concerned about the issue. The area in China with the largest concentration of Taiwanese businessmen — Dongguan and Shenzhen in Guangdong province — could face electricity supply shortages of up to one million kilowatts if authorities do not complete the new power grid construction project by this summer. Meanwhile, the East China Electrical Power Group Corporation (ECEPGC) estimates an expected peak summer demand of 190 million kilowatts this year in the eastern part of the nation. That would mean a shortage of up to 11.66 million kilowatts, according to the state-owned corporation. Chen Gang, deputy general manager of the State Grid Corporation of China of Jiangsu province, also said extremely hot conditions could push up electricity demand to as high as 7.6 million kilowatts in Nanjing this summer — an increase of 13% compared with the same period last year. It could also mean a supply shortage of of up to one million kilowatts, he said. |

China to Create Millions of “Quality” Homes
Posted by w_thames_the_d on April 25, 2011
The following is from here. The background for the piece is that in China, one must have a home, it’s of paramount importance. In order to placate the peons who have less of a chance to purchase homes as the chicoms are buying all the good land, the chicoms are ‘throwing a bone to the commoner’. The chicoms are building low cost housing for the less affluent. If you have ever been to china this idea would make you cringe. Chinese buildings are like Chinese, they look about one-half of a century older than they are. In my place in NYC, which was maybe 80 years old, the construction was better, the smell was better and the quality was better than the 2 and four 4 old places I have lived in, in Beijing. So imagine, if I am living in pretty good neighborhoods with what a Chinese person would call good quality, but to me its not suitable for canine life, then what will these ‘low cost homes’ be built of. In my mind I see walls with the thickness and durability of a Saltine cracker, just waiting to crumble at the first tremble of mother earth- kinda like what happened in sichuan in ’08. excerpt from here: In December 2010, a 107,000-square-meter subsidized housing project in Wuhan, capital of Central China’s Hubei province, was found to have been built on land polluted by a chemical plant that had once occupied the site.” |

Chinese Retirement Plan in a Photo
Posted by w_thames_the_d on April 25, 2011
The number of millionaires in China rose by 9.7 % last year, according to the Asia times, unfortunately, so did the geni coefficient. When the chasm between the haves and the have nots continues, people get frustrated. Frustrated people are a concern to any country. |
