Beijing's Underground Dwellers
« on: August 12, 2012, 10:49:02 AM »
Interesting that some of these go three stories underground. They don't mention or show pictures of bathrooms, so I imagine it's all communal facilities. Some of them look smaller than an American McMansion closet.

Serious, high-grade How We Use Cookies warning before you can even think about going to see the tunnels or whatever.

Got as far as "We're going to push ads at you" and decided Do Not Want.  Perhaps you could mail me a videotape?  Betamax, if you please.

stay safe.

Some of these are bigger than my room.
Can't feel too bad for them.

Sunday it felt a little better, but it was quite irritated from me rubbing it.

Well, tell us of your travails....  Are you missing a kidney or two perhaps?  Did Potato girl harvest any other organs/limbs/body parts to sell on the blackmarket?

Change your accommodations?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

No, but a barber did, several times.
I went Saturday, and said "about half this length" which was maybe 3.5 inches? 
Apparently in Korean that means just shy of a buzz cut.

Difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut? Time.

As long as you also brought a contemporaneous copy of the Wall Street Journal and a list of Kentucky Derby winners.

I can barely understand 1/2 of what my Korean TKD instructor says and I suspect the misunderstanding is mutual.
