Oli's Shanghai Blog

At Shanghai Pudong airport (PVG), the toilets (just like the majority of new public toilets across Shanghai) are luxurious. Thanks to the Expo and the Olympics before them, the standards of public conveniences have sky-rocketed across the country.

在上海浦东机场（PVG）的洗手间（就像很多上海的大部分公厕一样）很豪华。这个得感谢今年的世博会和之前的奥运会，使得全国对公厕的标准要求急速飙升了。

The airport is taking it one step further, however, and has decided to fight against one of the biggest problems that face urinals across the world. The piss-puddle.

这个机场做得更进一步，它决定挑战世界各国尿池面临的最大的问题之一。在水坑小便。

This sign, just above the urinal, is the first step in the battle…

尿池正上方的指示写的是在这场战斗中的第一步…

…although let’s not forget, men aren’t very good at doing two things at once. Read/Pee/Read/Pree/Pread/Ree/Pee/Read….DOHHHHH! It happened again!

…但我们不要忘了，人们并不擅长同时做好两件事。读/尿尿/读/尿尿/读/尿尿/尿尿/读…！又来了！

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I wrote here – so many people have called me ‘lazy’…and it’s sort of true! My head’s been under the radar, but I have been:

难以置信我那么久才到这里来写东西-超多人说我‘懒’…讨厌的是被他们说中了！我最近很低调,可是我仍然：

- Recovering after going to my friend’s wedding in Hong Kong (Congratulations Fiona and Tom!)…
- 已经从我香港朋友的婚礼中恢复过来了（恭喜Fiona和Tom!）…
- Working on so many different websites that my brain is spinning….
- 制作很多不同的网站…
- Eating sunflower seeds…
- 吃香瓜子…
- Watching the NBA on International League Pass…
- 看NBA…
- And of course…playing with Google Buzz!
- 当然还有…玩GBuzz！

…oh yeah, and working 10.30am → 9.30pm.
…哦，而且工作从早上10：30-晚上9：30.

Anyway, I promise that now it’s the YEAR OF THE TIGER, I will try to be more organized. What is your New Year’s promise? And what the hell is a GAROUPA?

无论如何，现在起我保证在虎年里，有组织纪律一点。你新年的保证是什么？ 还有GAROUPA到底是什么东东？

This year’s been pretty amazing – so much has happened in work, life, love…

这是一个相当不错的一年-工作，生活，感情，都发生了许多事情…

I hope everyone has a great year (or if you already celebrated some other New Year at some point in the last 45 days…keep having a good year!)!

我希望每个人都新年快乐（另外，如果你已经在45天前庆祝过了另外一个新年，那保持新年愉快）！

I just tweeted my status, but I might as well repeat it: I’m sitting alone in my living room, blogging, eating sunflower seeds, drinking gin+coke, watching Die Hard 4. It’s a GREAT start to the year!

我刚刚tweet了我的新状态，可是我还想在这里重复一下：我一个人坐在客厅，写博客，吃香瓜子，喝杜松子酒+可乐，看 虎胆龙威4.是一年的好的开始！
