After 20 years of first Die Hard movie, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is over 50 years old. This round the terrorism criminal is again, as other typical Hollywood movies, a smart psycho insider. Funny the head of FBI is not white. Maggie Q is again, stereotype, an Asian kong-fu chick terrorist. Bruce is cool. Especially the part to fight with a F-35 Lightning II jet on highway.

6 months ago, the house market in Shanghai seems stable. The price is steady. Nobody talks about house market. Now it is hot again. The CNY 12000/m2 area back 6 months ago is around CNY 18000/m2 now. The price increase gives house purchasers big psychological impacts. They are now waiting in line to grab one. Some new apartments on the market can sold out within a day.

I was so surprised when I first ate in Häagen-Dazs in Singapore. It is a restaurant, with mainly icecream served. The price is not cheap. The business is not as good as it is in Shanghai. I saw Häagen-Dazs restaurants in many shopping areas. One single scoop costs CNY28 (considering the M's Kids Meal is under CNY20). Order some special icecream dish or a cup of smoothie costs around CNY70. The price is about a main course, but it is just a disert. Even more interesting, it always packed, and you need wait in a line and to be seated. There is a joke in Shanghai - if you want to impress a girl, date her at Häagen-Dazs. I did saw a couple - the boy is handsome, and girl is extremely ugly! What a crazy world.

German Center is located at the corner of KeYuan Road and LongDong Blvd. As most of areas in ZhangJiang High-tech Park, easy to find an office building, hard to find a place to eat and buy a bottle of coke. The Syzygy Restaurant is located in German Centre. Name is special. Food is good. It even has its own website http://www.syzygyland.com.cn/ .

As time goes by, German Centre has open several facility stores - convenience store, ticket office, flower store, coffee machine demo stand, even tailor shop. Now a new daycare is open. The price is CNY6000/month for a kid. There are about 6 or 7 kids now. Most of them are white. Some nannies are singlish speaking. The price is about 10 times as a local pulbic daycare.

Yesterday it sounds serious. It rains heavily until the evening. Typhoon Wipha is reported heading Shanghai today. School is closed. People is evacuated. After yesterday evening, suddenly it is quite. No rain, a little bit of wind. I am excited to see what can happen this morning. Now it is after lunch, it is still quite, no rain, no wind. Whoo, Shanghai is safe this round.
