English Usage in China

This signage is displayed prominently as you enter the bathroom.

According to the Canon Law and its Interpretation, are you supposed to wear slipper inside the bathroom or otherwise?

The concierge of the hotel offers no better explanation either. On the safer side, please ignore the English equivalent. Brush up your Chinese while you are in China.

A Tale of Two Cities

This novel is a must in your reading list, even the Nobel Laureate Chen-Ning Franklin Yang could recite the first para without looking at the book.


I will read again this novel on my trip to China tomorrow. Medically speaking, if you stare at black alphabets or numbers for a certain numerical time frame, the book has the hypnotic effect of putting you to sleep.

As China still maintains the ban on blogger site, my blog will be on animated suspension for five days. So, my dear friends, please take a short rest, visit my blog after five days.
