Learning for a better future

This little boy maybe 5 or 6 years old doing very concentrated his homework on a street corner - no parents etc. in sight. I watched him for a while & then made the 2 photos. A little blurry, but still catching the mood.

Off to the mainland now

back on Friday only....maybe I get some photos for you. Sorry for slow posting !

CY LEUNG & his 500M House at the Peak

Now CY Leung is in trouble - it is maybe exaggerated - I dont know - but it is welcome to all his critics - please read here: CY's critics seek no confidence motion 24-06-2012 The Labour Party says it aims to move an emergency motion of no-confidence against Chief Executive-elect, C.Y. Leung, amid controversy over illegal structures uncovered at his Peak residence. Mr Leung -- a surveyor -- has accepted full responsibility for the unauthorised building works, even though he also says he wasn't aware they were illegal. The Labour Party's chairman, lawmaker Lee Cheuk-yan, said he hoped Legco president Tsang Yok-sing will waive the 12-day notice requirement so the motion can be moved on Wednesday. Mr Tsang said he would study the reasons behind the motion of no confidence before deciding whether to approve it for Wednesday or not. Speaking after RTHK's City Forum, a vice-chairman of the Democratic Party, Emily Lau, said it was too early to say if her party would back the no-confidence motion -- but she could not rule it out. The party's central committee will hold an urgent meeting tomorrow night to discuss the issue and decide the next step. Legislator Miriam Lau, who heads the pro-establishment Liberal Party, said she would like to see an investigation first into whether Mr Leung had lied, before deciding what should come next. She said Mr Leung should be given a chance to explain fully.

DEAR READERS

More than 4 years I have started this blog. Now I have passed the mark of 50,000 reads + almost 80,000 page views. Thank you very much for your support. The initial reason was the troubles of getting CHINA VISA before & during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. This problem had eased in October 2008 at least partly. Now that blog focus more on other things related to HK & China. I want to keep that blog alive as it gave me a lot of joy in posting etc etc. Thanks for you following this blog.

Laowai stops cars: Allows 120 [ambulance] to go first

Please read here (after checking this must have been in Chengdu): Yesterday noon around 12:00, city resident Mr. Tian was a passenger on the Line 1 Public Bus, accompanying family to see the doctor at Huaxi Hospital. When the bus reached the Wuhouci Street and Jiangxijie Road intersection, there was a lot of traffic and the bus was unable to move forward, while the traffic under the Old South Gate Overpass was particularly jam-packed. A 120 ambulance trying to make a turn into Wuhouci Street was also caught in this traffic, stuck and unable to advance. Mr. Tian then noticed a laowai had suddenly appeared in the midst of the traffic. This laowai wearing black pants and a t-shirt was actually busily opening a path in the traffic, and Mr. Tian turned on his mobile phone to record this scene. To allow this 120 ambulance to turn onto Wuhouci Street, this laowai ran back and forth amongst the packed cars on Jiangxi Street stopping cars from both directions. He first intercepted a taxi traveling south on Jiangxi Street, sticking both of his hands out on the car’s windshield, pushing the car backwards with all his strength, using improper/broken Chinese to say: “Don’t come, don’t come, there must be a sick person on the ambulance, let the ambulance first pass.” Afterward, the laowai ran to the other side, intercepted a Buick trying to make a left turn into Wuhouci Street, and also used all his strength to push the car back. This reporter saw in the video that both intercepted cars were all very accommodating. Video here:

Apple Shop in Shi Long

Recently APPLE opened a new shop on the mainland. In Shi Long Town - this is the last station before Guangzhou with the train from Shenzhen. Please see here & be aware only original APPLE products are sold there:
It always needs 2: First the greedy operator running that shop - second any stupid customer believing this is a real APPLE shop. My guess: This shop will not last very long.
