Day 196: I got a bike

Published on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 in Blog.

After spending half a year in China, I finally got a bicycle. I got an entry level mountain bike from Shanghai Bicycle Rental near Xintiandi. The shop, which just opened last month, has an English-speaking staff and the owner, Billion (yes his name is Billion), is the most laid-back guy you’ll ever meet. Seriously, go take a look. He’s fun to watch.

Day 195: Cold Fairyland awesome

Published on Monday, October 27, 2008 in Blog.

A couple hot chicks and I watched Shanghainese band Cold Fairyland (冷酷仙境) perform last Friday night. Great show! Later we even got autographs when the band coincidentally showed up at the same bar we were at and sat at the table next to ours. They were really nice.

上礼拜五晚上我和两只热小鸡去看冷酷仙境(Cold Fairyland)的表演. 好show! Later我们刚好去一样的酒吧, 就根他们要亲笔签名. 他们很nice.

How to read Chinese when you obviously can’t

Published on Thursday, October 23, 2008 in Blog.

So what do you do when you’re an ABC who can understand some spoken Chinese but can’t read Chinese and there’s a Chinese webpage you have to read and the few bilingual friends you have are tired of translating for you and you’ve run out of money to pay them to do it?

Go to the webpage in question and copy the text that you need to read.

Sex Museum in Shanghai

Published on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 in Blog.

第189天: 上海性文化博物馆

Kindly translated into Chinese by Belle. Thank you!

Shanghai’s Sex Museum is a little hard to find. I don’t have an address for it, but it’s at the end of the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel on the Pudong side. I don’t have an address for the tunnel either, but it’s near the Oriental Pearl Tower. I don’t have an address for the tower either, but it’s that giant needle with pink balls on it. You can’t miss it.

上海性文化博物馆的地理位置有点难寻秘.我甚至没有关于它的具体地址,但它位于上海浦东新区外滩观光隧道的尽头. 我也没有外滩观光隧道的地址, 但它靠近东方明珠. 我也没有东方明珠的地址, 但我知道东方明珠像是一个巨大的横撑木镶嵌着许多粉色的球体. 你不会错过它的.

I know you don’t want to ask around for directions to the Sex Museum. That’s okay, because you get the museum ticket (20 RMB) at the same booth as the tunnel ticket. So just ask for directions to the tunnel, and you’ll find the museum.

我知道你不想在路上问怎么去性博物馆. 没关系, 因为你是在外滩观光隧的售票处买到的博物馆的票子(20元). 所以你只要在那问到外滩观光隧的地理位置就能找到上海性文化博物馆的.

Day 187: “Make Jady Happy” pics

Published on Sunday, October 19, 2008 in Blog.

On a whim, Karl organized a party and brilliantly gave it the title “MAKE JADY HAPPY”. Anyone who didn’t want to hurt the big baby’s feelings had to attend, and a big support group for Jady showed up last night at C’s. (Josephine didn’t come. You know what that means.)

Google translation which I didn’t bother checking:
是一种突发奇想, Karl举办了党和精辟赋予它的标题“让Jady快乐”. 任何人谁不想伤害大宝宝的感情已参加和支持大集团Jady出现昨晚在C’s. (Bosephone没有来. 你知道这意味着什么.)
