4 Victor's Car Plate was Stolen

Another story about how effective the police is in China...

Another story:
Guys put on ebay very cheap computer, when you go to the place to pay in cash there is nobody, and they ask you to send the money to a bank account from the bank next to the place they ask you to meet them.
and of course, if you are stupid enough to send the money, you never get the computer.
When i was looking for a computer 2 years ago it happen to me 3 times... 3 times make me loose my time, even when before going to the meeting point I told them that I know this trick, that I was not going to pay by bank transfer, that I want to test the computer first... but chinese reply: "没有问题 = no problem" and then when I arrive at the place I see a bank and they ask me to send money... Really annoying.

3 Current University Students are Different

There is really a "talent gap" in China. It is impressive to work here, and see the very low working level of the people.
Most of the people do not care about the company, do not think of the consequences of the policies, can not apply a process, or propose anything to improve the efficiency.

And many have kids reactions. Studying that much and having so few independence and so few socialization is not good for china futures.

Students should learn less by heart, and more learn to think by themselves, and to see the different points of view of a Problem, keep free time to enjoy their life, and learn how to communicate and live with others.

To dezza: you speak about 10millions then Foreigner taking the job of Chinese... maximum foreigner take a few dozen thousands a year.
Taking the Job of Chinese? I remember you that foreign companies employ millions of Chinese through China. And if companies take foreigners at a local salary it is that most of them can bring more value.
If so many foreigner complain about Chinese student/employee level, it should be a reason. The foreigner going to other countries do not complain that much...

2 Movie Lust, Caution. Good!

You mean you went to the Cinema?
Better avoid going to see this movie on the Cinema in China....
As the "recent chinese history" made the gov cutting lot of minutes of the movie.

The pirate DVD version should at least not be censored.

1 Why Maps in Shanghai are Upside Down?

I think may be one of the reason people in Shanghai has so bad sense of direction... maybe because map always change direction.

As a foreigner living since a few years here, I am still very surprise of how Chinese people has low sense of direction.
