China Blog #8: The Shanghai Alleycat Experience

Yes, in this video my hair is long again. This video has also been a long time, sitting on my computer. I am still short haired and army-fied, just so you know. If you're interested in this event then have a butcher's here:

Those bikes sound like death traps!

[JazzainChina]

OH MY GOD SNOW. GIVE ME SOME!!

[JazzainChina]

I'll mail you some :P

[JohnnyDurham19]

I WANT THAT TRANSFORMERS BIKE! :D

[JazzainChina]

You don't. It didn't have breaks either.

i mean you have really good grammar, in the beginning of your video you said something like "one has to" and then later on you continued with using "one" rather than "you." i probably would have switched from "one" to "you" ... sorry i just notice little things like that. =]

I'm going to be taking Chinese in college this coming fall and I was wondering if there were any kinds of tips that you had to give to someone that would be starting out. Also, how fluent in Chinese are you? And how long have you been studying it? Thanks!

[kunstinflammen]

lol you are so funny, glad you had fun. How easy is it to get tickets if one doesn't speak Chinese? I mean you do so I guess it's ok. XD I'm really impressed you got lost in Shanghai and found your way back

[c0capop]

[Daniefab]

Please don't tell me word 'one' (as in referring to yourself) exists in your vocabulary :P

*love*

They do do that, it's called cloud seeding and they use it in the north to induce rainfall but earlier this year they caused one of the earliest snow storms in Beijing on record. I am in Nanjing though, and as far as I know this snow was legit.

[Tinkynette]

Ooooh the bike is cool ! :)

And how did your test go ?

I was wondering, is it really snowing or did the chinese sent chemical products in/to the clouds to make sure it'll snow, 'cause i read something about that weird way to affect the weather in the paper the other day and i don't know if it's true or just a big joke.
