看一个crocs的李鬼版博客

So far, I only saw this shameless Coqui brand in Carrefour . Yesterday I was happen to be there, and it is not there anymore. This is the bold shameless blog for this brand. Basically it tells the story of Crocs in the name of Coqui . http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1369592324

Crocs on taobao

I posted about Crocs in Singapore in 2006. It gets popular in China now. Crocs opened a big store in SuperBrand Mall, with lots of customers. The price is about CNY 250. No surprising, like other popular stuffs, replicas/clones follow. There are lots of Crocs listings on taobao , all claimed to be authentic, the price starts from CNY 30, all the way to the local store price. If you want to buy a real one, go to local store. If you want to buy a replica, don't take too serious about those claimed to be authentic on taobao , and just pay the minimal price. Also in Carrefour , the Li Gui version of Crocs are sold with brand name Coqui .

no free plastic grocery bag

start from June 1, no more free plastic grocery bags. the policy is nation wide. I need pay extra 20 or 30 cents for each bag. I doubt how it works. Usually I got all these plastic bags, and reused them as trash bags, and final destination for those bags are dumpster, which is good. Now I need pay for these plastic bag or buy trash bags. Except for spending money on one more item, nothing gets improved. The problem is in wet market. The bags used there are usually small and thin, and are throw away everywhere. This is bad and need to be regulated.

Just installed Firefox 3 RC1. Finally the huge toolbar icon size problem is fixed on big DPI setting PC. The performance and resource are pretty. The URL AutoComplete is neat.

deposit a check

We received a check from US Citibank. Since we have a joint account there, the check has both of our names on it. To deposit it, I went to China Merchandise Bank. I was told they can't take this check since I don't have joint account in local, even if they can take it, the fee is about 300CNY. I was advised to go to Citibank Shanghai branch. The fee there is much more higher, about 700CNY, even it is the same Citibank. To deposit this check in Citibank Shanghai branch, I need to open a joint account there first, which must have initial 80K CNY balance on it. Again, I was told to try other China banks. I went to Bank of China. They take the check, it doesn't matter for them if it is joint account or not, and the fee is about 60CNY. The service is way too different bank to bank. Bank of China is the big brother bank in foreign currency exchange. The bank has some services other banks just can't compete.

one ads before the earthquake

it is one picture saying the event is as huge as 8 magnitude earthquake impacts. you know what, I believe around that time, the rumor about earthquake is surrounding in s ichuan, so the idea of this ads comes up.

Fatal accident in Shanghai TianLin Primary School

The accident was overshadowed by the earthquake, but it hits the family as hard as the 8 earthquake. Based on the blog, a grade 5 girl was found dead falling from school building. I tend to believe it is suicide case, and the teacher was harsh but not expecting this for sure. The ugly part is what happened afterwards. No party wants to take the responsibility, and shows only cold and stiff to the kid's family. This is the blog http://blog.sina.com.cn/tianguosinian
