Living and Writing in China
I thought I’d put up a couple of mildly amusing Chinglish signs I saw the other day. Not super funny, but I’m feeling lazy today.
Fancy some ‘beff’ for supper?
This was on the ground. Not sure what I needed to pay ‘attantion’ to actually.
I’ve been a member of Entrecard (EC) for quite a few years now. Whilst I don’t drop nearly as much as I used to, I still do some rounds every now and again, and I still get a reasonable amount of traffic from them (I’m not a high traffic blog, sad to say).
I’ve said before though, the quality of service there has been slowly deteriorating, especially over the last year and half. I sometimes wonder if anyone is manning the ‘switchboards’ there, so to speak, and have considered many times removing myself from their system. Still, as I said, it does work, so I’ve kept it.
The last few days has me questioning it again though, as it’s been down for at least 48 hours now, with no real sign of any life. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s terminal.
Maybe someone should put it out of our misery.
The Chinese New Year fireworks go on, but the main event is winding down now, and people will be returning to work on Monday, including myself. 
Anyway, on the night of New Years Eve, Chinese TV always shows a huge show that’s watched across the nation. I don’t bother usually, it’s all the same old same old, but apparently this year they had dancing robots!
Well, it’s that time of year again. The time when I don’t get any sleep because of the stupid fireworks going off 23 hours a day outside my window.
We try and get out of China at this time of year, it’s usually so loud, but this year we’re a bit broke, so couldn’t manage it. Hey ho.
Anyway, here’s wishing everyone a happy Chinese new year. It’s the year of the Dragon this time, which is supposed to be a good one. Last year wasn’t the greatest for me, not the worst mind, just lots of small annoyances.
Here’s hoping for a better one!
