Ready set go! College entrance exams begin!Posted by Alice Xin Liu, June 7, 2010 6:12 PM
The college entrance exams begin today! The Yangtse Evening Post has the red headline, 'Face the examinations with a smile. Best of luck to the students.' It reports that in Jiangsu province today 572,000 students will face examinations. The Yangtse Evening Post even has a mobile phone service, Fetion (飞信), set up in order for reporters to send texts straight from the line of action － where the examinations are taking place, analyzing pressing issues such as exam questions. Related, another headline on the page: "14 youth tie up instructor and flees overnight." Inside is another harrowing account of some Internet youth who have been confined inside an Internet Addiction camp in Xuyi County (盱眙县). The collective escape was foiled when two taxi drivers reported to the police that a group of teenagers had ridden a taxi overnight but did not pay. Parents were alerted and came to the police station to claim their children. The story ends with a Baidu entry on the definition of 'Internet Addiction.' Links and Sources

I really gotta get into the eyeglass racket in China...
Just love the mail-order bride ads on Danwei now, lol. I understand you have to pay the bills somehow...
tom: The ads are served up by Google. If you see one that's offensive, please let us know by either sending us a screenshot or telling us the name of the company that placed the ad. We can block ads if we know what they are (and we've blocked some pretty dodgy stuff in the past).
Pretty sad that those ads are probably appropriate for this website.
