Comments on Snowboarding in BeijingI basically learned to snowboard there this winter. I wasn't expecting that I would learn snowboarding in China! It is a little pricy if you are on a chinese salary. . but it was something I could not really afford to do back in Canada. I'm surprised this is China's hub for snowboarding because it is situated in the desert scrublands outside of Beijing and all the snow is artificial because it is so arid there. So when you fall it feels like you are hitting concrete! The snow is thin and hard packed. Hi, it is so nice seeing Sexy Beijing again! How are you, Jeremy and Su Fei? :) from a Chinese student in US But Daniel, you don't know what you are missing back home! Besides, is it really so much cheaper to ride in China than in Canada? I heard it's almost the same. |

+ Online video tainted by spoofs (2006.08): Translation from Qiu Ao, and bits from the Legal Mirror about the SARFT regulations on personal internet video. + Lip-Service: Lip-Synching in Chinese Pop Music by David Moser (2005.03): When we showed up at the studio for the taping, we discovered that there was no microphone for our singer, no recording equipment or hookups for our amplifiers, and not even any electrical outlets on the stage. "How are we supposed to do our number?" I asked the studio crew. They looked at us incredulously. "You actually want to sing the song live?" they said + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
