How much does it cost in HK to slap a police in the face ?
Not too much - just need to have some uncle or uncles - you will walk free. First you slam your car into a bus - you are drunk. Police comes and want to take your breath test - just tell them you need to leave now - and then when police is getting a little bit more insisting you just slap one officer (actually he is quite a good actor - close to italian soccer player - just need 2 - 3 seconds after the slap and then falling down.......). This was in January 2010 - 2 days ago the judge ruled 1 year probation & HKD 8,000 penalty + please consult your shrink. Means lovely Amina Bokhary again went for free after her third offense - all similar actions. Good message to the public - here again we protect the rich and connected ones - whatever crazy they behave !
So we shall try ourselves same ? Be sure you will be in jail - as you dont have that "uncle".
Relax & enjoy the video - and remember: That's Hong Kong justice system.
MULTIPLE VISA FOR SLAPPING THE POLICE HEREWITH GRANTED TO MADAM AMINA BOKHARY. CONGRATULATIONS - SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

UFO over China !
Sorry for slow posting. Very busy here - it is too hot in Hong Kong and now we are waiting for some stormy weather or even a typhoon is coming. But lets hope no UFO is coming here - it seems in China there are a lot of UFO's - please enjoy the clips:
And here some more info from the China TV - this has happened close to Hangzhou Airport - anybody has any idea what this really was ?
And here another one showing more details of this THING - is it a stunt ? Is it some secret service action ? Is it a big destroyer to fight against the bad internet ? Is it GOOGLE leaving China ? Or is it just a street lamp "photo shopped" into the sky with a huge projector ?
Anyhow - it is gone - nobody has seen it again.

China to ease access for expats to visit relatives in China from June 1
A new law set to go into effect June 1 aims to ease access for foreigners coming to China to visit relatives, according to a notice posted on the Ministry of Public Security's official website.
The notice explains that foreign spouses of Chinese citizens, close family members of foreigners working or studying in China and certain classes of overseas Chinese will all be able to come to China via a much simpler process than before given a newly created residence permit category.
Any foreigner currently seeking to visit family members—parents, children or spouses—will be to apply for a tourist visa valid for up to one year.
The new class of residency permit also lifts restrictions on numbers of entries and raises the duration of each stay up to a maximum of two years.
"The number of foreigners related to Chinese citizens who are coming to China to visit, seek refuge or support their immediate family members has increased in recent years," reads the online announcement.
The notice notes that the Exit-Entry Administration of the Municipal Public Security Bureau would bring the new regulations into effect by "taking into account the actual needs of China."
Initial reaction to the news was greeted warmly on online forums frequently visited by expats in Beijing, though some questioned releasing the information only in Chinese and without explanations of many of the law's key points.
A user named "baiyunma" posting on thebeijinger.com titled a post: "Spouses of Chinese citizens finally fully human."
"After 20 or more years of denial by the government, this is a step forward in admitting that those married to Chinese citizens who also wish to live in China are actually residents and not tourists," wrote baiyunma.
According to Lin Song, press director for the Exit-Entry Administration of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, foreigners wishing to make use of the new law would still be subject to the same health checks required by other residence permit applications, and that only certain applicants would receive visas for a full two years.
"The new law will be applied nationwide on June 1, and applicants should apply once they have arrived in China," Lin told to the Global Times.
Lin said, however, that the new policies were not related to employment, and that those wishing to work in China would still need to follow correct procedures to become officially employed. Lin added that an English-language version of the new law would be available online once experts had finished checking a translation.
Some expats, however, have questioned whether those affected by the new law would actually stand to gain any real benefits.
"As far as I know, [the new law] really doesn't mean much because we're basically talking about a multi-year visa," said an American national living in Beijing. He has been married to a Chinese woman for five years. "This saves me a yearly trip, but when I go now it's pretty automatic, no hassle. It's not a big deal."
Another foreigner, who is also married to a Chinese citizen, also questioned the law's usefulness.
"Personally, [the new law] really doesn't affect me because my company takes care of my visa," said Perceson Chadders, a director of studies at an international school in Beijing. "I don't even have to think about it."
"But I suppose if you were a kept man or woman the new law would be helpful in securing your legal right to be here," Chadders added.

AND HERE A TRIBUTE TO MR BOB DYLAN !
Hope as many people can see this - esp on the MAINLAND - enjoy some Bob Dylan here (including 2x Hendrix version of "All along the Watchtower" - I am afraid Hendrix also would have been banned to perform in China. Millions of Bob Dylan Fans feelings are hurt by the decision of the China Government (isn't this the standard reply of China officials .......?):
BOB DYLAN IS NOT WELCOME IN CHINA !
What a shame - the so-called CULTURAL department decided not Mr Bob Dylan have the 2 concerts in China. How dangerous it seems Bob Dylan is ? Like this you can never be GREAT. Upfront the WORLD EXPO in Shanghai - your cadres are doing something like this ? What is your WORLD you have in mind ?
