It is not often a story with a title like "Liugang No 2 converter put into production" attracts my attention. Especially from India. But something caught my attention.

How to avoid arrest and talk great Inglish.

China kindly publishes English language newspapers to help us idiots to understand them. Occassionalllllly they get the English rite. Not oftun.

I was looking through the website of a kitchen equipment company earlier today. I'm thinking of buying an oven. I chanced on this bizarre contraption, whatever it is.

The Worst Music Video in the World

Saturday, 19 January 2008 10:46 A GMT+08
China's military, The People's Liberation Army, the world's largest standing army, no doubt has some crack regiments somewhere, but the vast majority seem to be young kids, male and female, in uniforms obviously designed for their elder and larger si

How to catch fish!

Sunday, 7 October 2007 2:17 P GMT+08
Only minutes after informing you that I had been mistaken in my duck acquisition techniques, I stumble across the awful truth that I’ve also been catching my fish incorrectly, too!

Liuzhou Roast Duck

Sunday, 7 October 2007 11:47 A GMT+08
There are many favourite local duck recipes and dishes. Beer duck is a local favourite, for example. And duck hotpot is popular in the winter. I have even been known to make the occasional duck dish myself.

"They're planting stories in the press"

Sunday, 23 September 2007 11:43 P GMT+08
I'm delighted to discover that Liuzhou is spending its money wisely. I live just off one of the major thoroughfares of the city and, over the last few months, the locals have been digging up the road and then remaking it.

Ring Them Bells

Sunday, 19 August 2007 10:18 P GMT+08
You have to be quick to keep up with the social trends round Liuzhou. The locals take up new hobbies and pastimes almost every week. After the 'falling down holes' and 'setting things on fire' crazes of recent months, they have a new one.

Flying Chinamen

Monday, 30 July 2007 2:32 P GMT+08
According to my local newspaper, the lads in the Liuzhou branch of the People’s Liberation Army are learning some new skills. There seems to be a shortage of aircraft at the moment, so instead they are learning to fly under their own power.

The game is the same - it's just up on a different level

Thursday, 26 July 2007 1:53 P GMT+08
About a year ago, it was claimed that the Chinese invented golf! I had forgotten about this until last night when a young Chinese friend claimed that not only golf, but football (soccer), basketball and disco dancing were all also Chinese inventions.
