  1. Xinjiang news does not pass Google news RSS filter, even with a proxy server. Particular reason for that could be Google obeying Chinese law
  2. http://www.hurl.ws/3z9m Apparently reaction to 'ethnic cleansing' Guangdong. Demonstration against racism in Southern China, got out of hand
  3. Bypassing the Firewll of China. Figured out the reason of the block. Turmoil in Urumqi. Some 140 people died allegedly.
  4. Twitter not working today without a proxy server... What reason could China have to block it again today?
  5. First exam today. Went quite well i think. Much easier than expected anyway. Staying a bit off the map till Thursday. 4 more tests to come.
  6. Cleaning up my HD. Tremendously hard; no particular heavy folders. Just a lot of different things spread over my Mac. Gonna take a while...
  7. Just put ridiculous effort in ordering ice-cream upstairs from the store below. Could have gone down and be back by now...
  8. Had a second Breakfast at the local hostel. Some juice, some yoghurt and fruit.
  9. Visited furniture exhibition. Ridiculously noisy. So much ugly stuff, can't believe it. Current suppliers better than anything we found.
  10. No more exclusivity for Chengdu to fly to Lhasa anymore. http://www.hurl.ws/3rx5 Will this affect Chengdu's tourism?
  11. Just woke up, later than I intended. Need to fight of a small hang over. Making coffee. Weather same same, nice and cool, zero trace of sun.
  12. Drinking a nice cold bottle of wu er ba (528). Preparing to go out to a barbecue; curious how they'll manage that in this weather. See ya!
  13. Rode back to the Hi-Tech zone by scooter. Not too much traffic. Just a lot of slow-driving cars. People here aren't used to wet roads.
  14. Some positive, peace spreading, Dutch pride; http://www.hurl.ws/3rvo interesting new perspective on the Afghani conflict...
  15. Went to Ito Yokado in the rain. got some breakfast. About to watch Watchmen. Rainy weekends add so much atmosphere!
  16. http://www.hurl.ws/3rvd Chengdu saw a UFO! Interesting is, the Chinese equivalent of Area 51 is in our vicinity. Maybe not mysterious at all
  17. Watched some episodes, drunk some baileys on the rocks, hung around the couch with some friends. Satisfying, energysaving friday evening.
  18. Just watched 'a Lion called Christian'. Must be the first documentary ever based on a Youtube success. Fun to watch.
  19. http://www.hurl.ws/3z1r Finally came out; Chengdu bus fire was purposely lit.
  20. Ordered Chicken Soup King again. Need to find more options to order in some variety. Only Sichuan dishes in this hood though...
