Shanghai Zoo

Take a cab to Shanghai Zoo today. From PuDong Blvd to there, the fare is around 50. It is nice that the traffic on highrise expressway is smooth. The zoo ticket price is 30, and free for kid below 1.2m. The zoo has all kinds of animals, tigers, pandas, lions, monkeys, ... One pity is even with clear sign that no feed animals, some tourists throw corns, peanus, bananas and even empty soft drink bottles in.

got some fake goodies in china

Because of we have been working so hard for 2007, our boss decides to give us some small gifts as appreciation. It is Kingston Road Traveller 8G USB key. The USB key looks just as good as authentic Kingston USB key until one guy decides to register his key on official Kingston website. He was told it is a fake one, Kingston has never made such USB key product line. It reminds me one thing. I was too busy recently to buy condom on local store, so I bought some on taobao.com. Of course, after carefully checked, the condom I bought are fake one. Fake USB is okay, as long as it can store data. Fake condom is definitely another story, it can cause big problem.

snow in Shanghai

It was snowing in Shanghai! I was so excited to see the landscape of snow yesterday when I woke up. It wasn't that common now to see snow in winter. In the past 20 years, the winter in China usually is not cold but dry and foggy. Now the snow comes, in an overwhelming way.

subscribe utilities

After moving to new apartment, I opened the following utilities: - Gas, one time service setup fee around 900RMB. This one is the most unreasonable expensive one. I thought it should be free as water and electricity. You pay only what you used, but the whole system buildup cost is government's business. - Landed phone provided by China Telecom, a couple of hundreds yuans. - Cable TV, one time service setup fee around 400 yuans. - Network, there are several providers - China Telecom, China Netcom, and Cable. I use cable modem. 1200 yuans for one year contract.

so long, apple powerbook

After 3 years, my 12" powerbook's battery is totally drained out. the combo drive has a small mechanical problem. To fix this small problem by certified Apple service, the cost is over what I am gonna sold for. I listed it on taobao.com ( http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db2-750253ea4d26af50dd7296286a42802c.jhtml ). Taobao is the most popular online auction site in China.
