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。

China mourns the death of Google – 中国悼念谷歌死亡

It almost seems inevitable at this point – Google will be pulling out of China. It is unclear about what exactly will still be available to the millions of people who use Google’s services every day here, but staff at Google.cn were rumoured to have spent yesterday watching Avatar and eating a farewell meal, before either joining the US office or finding new employment.

看来这已经成了不可避免的事实 – 谷歌将撤出中国了。目前还不清楚究竟在这里的数百万每天使用谷歌的人还能使用什么谷歌的服务，但Google.cn的员工有传言说，昨天在他们决定要么加入美国办事处或找新的工作之前，他们去看了阿凡达，吃了散伙饭了。

It’s true that Google wasn’t making huge amounts of money in China, and it’s true that they were not the number one search engine – but let’s be realistic: 2nd place in a market of a billion people is still pretty damn good. They will be missed by a lot of people…and yesterday mourners gathered to pay their respects at Google’s offices.

的确，谷歌在中国没怎么赚钱，也确实，他们不是头号搜索引擎 – 但是让我们面对现实：在一个10亿人口的市场第二名仍然相当好了。它仍然将被很多人怀念…昨天在谷歌中国办事处门口有很多人来表示哀悼了。

It’s not goodbye – just au revoir!

Hack back – Chinese hackers give something back to Iran! – 反击黑客-中国黑客给予伊朗的反击！

It’s been confirmed that Baidu was in fact hacked by the funnily named ‘Iranian Cyber Army’ earlier today.

已经确认了今天早上百度确实被‘伊朗Cyber Army’给黑了。

Kaixin001 now reports that the Chinese were quick to give something back to the ‘community’ :)

开心001报道了中国人很快给予的反击。 ：）

Can you guess what I saw last night? – 猜猜昨天我看到了什么？

Look at this picture.

看下面这个图。

I was coming home from work last night when I suddenly opened the window and stuck my phone out and snapped a picture. Can you guess what had caught my eye? What was it that was so important that I braved the freezing night air to capture?

昨晚在我回家路上，当我突然开窗，突然拿出手机，突然拍下了一张照片的时候。你才我看到了什么? 是什么那么重要，以至于在那么冷的天气，尤其是晚上，我要开窗拍照？

Have another look!

再看一下！

When you’re ready to know the answer, have a look at the Photoshop enhanced version (below)!

Now THAT is a personalised number plate :)

现在这成了一个个性化的车牌了 :)

What have those crazy Japs done now? (那些疯狂小日本都做了些什么？)

I didn’t realise until recently (my history knowledge is a little poor) that China and Japan are not exactly the best of friends. I’m not going into the details, but suffice to say there are long held prejudices that seem to be holding the two countries back from becoming the best of friends (any time soon at least).

最近我才意识到（我的历史是有点差）中国和日本不是最好的朋友。细节我不说了，但我只想说两国要成为好朋友还要段时间（不过至少以后总会好的）。

Japanese culture, however, is thriving in Shanghai. There are lots of little shops and boutiques with imported stuff, and watching anime is a favourite pastime of a high percentage of teenagers and early 20 year olds (basically anyone without a job who has the time to watch 500 episodes of One Piece).

然而日本的文化在上海蓬勃发展。有许多小商店和精品店进口很多日本的东西，看动漫可以说是很多20几岁的青少年最喜欢做的事情（基本上无业的人会花时间看500集的海贼王）。

I went to the local Japanese import food shop the other day and was amazed with the selection – but had to double-take when I noticed McVITIE’S BISCUITS sitting there! I could hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of some chocolate Hobnobs to dunk into my coffee…but these ones had a special ingredient.

一天我去了上海的一个日本进口食品商店，那里的东西多得吓死我 – 但在我看到 McVITIE’S饼干的时候，我觉得不得不三思而行！对于巧克力饼干的美味，我产生了一种难以抑制的兴奋以及憧憬…想象着把消化饼蘸着我的咖啡吃……可是，这些饼干有一个特殊的成分…一个很奇怪的成分…

Can you guess what it was? (Guess first, then click to see):

你猜是什么？（先猜，然后点击看）：

You dirty Japs! What have you done to our biscuits?!

小日本鬼子！你们对我的饼干做了什么？！

Blackberry 8900 Shanghai (黑莓8900在上海)

So I made a snap decision and bought a Blackberry. It wasn’t the stereotypical snap decision (because it took me three weeks from the time it was made to receiving the goods) but all the same, it was a good choice.

我做了仓促的决定去买了黑莓。其实也不能说是个仓促的决定（因为花了我3个星期等我的货到），不过不管怎样，还不错。

I’m not going to tell you how much I love it or how amazing it is, because right now I’m using about 4% of its capacity (no push mail, no internet*, twitter slow, barely any apps). That said, I am taking advantage of its camera to document the LITTLE THINGS in my life which I have been neglecting recently.

我没打算跟你说我有多喜欢它，它有多帮，因为现在我只用了4%的用途（没有push mail,没有网络，twitter很慢，很少其他用途）。 这就意味着我要用它的摄像来存档一些我生活中最近被忽略了的小事情。

Look here for example:

例如：

I dropped my pen behind a cupboard at work, and so I decided to investigate behind it. Voila! 30 more pens.

我上班的时候在 柜子后面掉了笔，然后我就决定找它。看！30多支笔！

I went to Ikea and saw this. Is it a joke? I know Swedish people are pretty funny – but…a corkscrew called ‘Groggy’?! It sounds like a Disney cartoon character!

我去宜家然后看到这个。这是玩笑吗？我知道瑞士人不怎么有趣—可是…把开瓶器称作‘Groggy’？！听上去就想迪士尼动画里的角色。

Booyaka! I did it on purpose (of course)…

我最喜欢的音乐!我故意的（当然）…

I will be sure to paste any more meaningful moments in my life right here in the blog!

以后我要把我生活中有意义的图片都贴到这里！

Gossip Girl (China Edition) – What do you think (photos)? (绯闻女孩（中国版）-你觉得如何 (图片)?)

As everyone (else) seems to know, Hunan TV is famous for producing HIGH QUALITY dramas and entertainment shows which are enjoyed across China. Rumour has it (Kaixin001 is where I get my gossip) that a Hunan satellite TV station is remaking (one of) the best TV shows in recent history – Gossip Girl!

众所周知，湖南卫视在中国制作高质量电视剧和娱乐节目很有名。传闻（我在开心001上听说的）湖南卫视将翻拍最棒的电视剧（之一）-绯闻女孩！

The good news doesn’t stop there! Let’s have a look at the cast of the upcoming show, and see how they measure up to the originals! Should the casting director receive an oscar or THE SACK?

好消息还没说完！让我们来看看这个片子里会有谁，看看他们和原版人物相比怎么样！导演应该拿奥斯卡还是应该打包回家？

Who’s the best match? Who’s the worst? Will you watch it? Is Dan’s character now a woman? One thing is for sure – ‘little Jenny’ isn’t so ‘little’ anymore!

哪个最配？哪个最烂？你会看吗？饰演Dan的演员现在是个女人吗？一件事情是肯定的-‘little Jenny’不在那么小了！

Christmas has come early for you! (If you want a Google Wave invite for Christmas) (提前发送圣诞礼物啦！（如果你想要Google Wave邀请）)

I think I was the last person to get access to Google Wave, however now I have it I want to use up ALL of my invitations to other people before it become OPEN and everyone can use it!

我想我大概是最后一个得到Google Wave邀请的人，不过我现在有了然后我想用所有的邀请给大家，在它开放以前，每个人都可以用它！

So if you want an invite, just leave a comment here saying so (as well as a joke) and then I’ll add you. If you don’t want an invitation, feel free to leave a joke here anyway!

所以如果你要邀请，只要在这里留言（或者说个笑话），然后我就会加你。如果你不想要邀请，那就在这里讲笑话吧！

Happy Christmas! (nearly)

圣诞快乐！（差不多了）

ps, it takes a while after the invitation is sent to arrive (like a week) – be patient!

ps, 在发送邀请以后要过一段时间才能收到（大概一个礼拜）- 耐心点！
