Happy New Year! – 春节快乐!

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！

Shanghai men – 上海男人

There’s something about the men in Shanghai that I think is a little strange….

我总觉得上海男人有点奇怪…

….but I just can’t figure out what it is…

…可是我说不清楚怪在哪里…

Hazing in the Chinese police – 作孽的中国警察

Although I have not been able to get any official comment from the Chinese police, after looking at this photographic evidence collected after a seconds-long investigation, there can be no doubt that new recruits in the Chinese police force are humiliated and hazed, to break down their spirit before training.

虽然我没能找到任何官方对中国警察的评价，可是在看过这张照片的下一秒钟，便可知道中国警察新兵部队的新兵在他们培训崩溃前，所受的羞辱和欺负了。

How else could you explain being forced to ride this bike around town?

不然你还能怎么解释，被迫在街上骑这样的自行车？

The golden rule of life: If a bicycle has a foot-stand, you can not catch criminals with it.

生存的黄金法则：如果一辆自行车有撑脚架，你一定没法靠它抓到罪犯。
