butcher + Bruce Lee + 007 + Alien? Was I delirious ?!? Or it might just well be!

Who tagged above? It is right outside a construction site in Guangzhou (also known as Canton in the past) , a city in Southeastern China. Was it someone fed up with rapid urban redevelopment? A common scenary in many major cities in China is the leveling of huge city blocks replacing them with highrises. The “pockets” that temporarily survive become “villages in a city” or cheng zhong cun (城中村). These areas are at times the synonym of ghettos. Can that be a better model of (non) development?

I dunno if yin and yan were equally represented since I did not check the washroom of the opposite sex.

Adidas recently launched its Urban Art Guide to Berlin, a slick interactive gallery dedicated to the city’s best urban art and graffiti. Users can also download the free iPhone app which features a Google map interface, city tours and the possibility to find the closest art pieces in your viscinity using the phone’s geo-positionning capability when you are walking around the city. A very cool cousin application of CitySPK that might spread to other cities after the German capital.

牛B (adjective) - niu b

niu (noun): ox / boeuf

It means awesome, fierce, powerful, etc. - but it’s a vulgar expression since “b” is an euphemism for sex organ. In other words, N.B. that you don’t use N.B. at work!

全家福 (quan jia fu)

Si les trois caractères signifient: portrait de famille, une famille heureuse, etc., ne me demandez pourquoi la vulgarité s’est installé.

Don’t ask me why the profanity came along for the joyride if the three chinese characters translated loosely as happy family or a family portrait.
