East vs. West

Back in Nanjing!!!!! So happy. Home sweet home. This one was meant to be a rant about how us Chinese are second-class citizens even in our own country etc etc, how the old peasant culture mindlessly favours males over females etc.... I mean, so what if I have a rare surname and am not male....dammit, if I ever breed, they are going to have my surname. Cost of doing so, don't care.

Plus, just because your ancestors once had the ability go kick my ancestors' arse, does that mean you can intentionally and needlessly block someone's photo op just so you can stupidly look at some building and see whether or not it was a fan? Stupid pigs.

Not in a good mood as you can see. There is a typhoon, I have wasted this day on....things I would not willingly do on my own. Due to old thinking. By some people that are old and some that aren't even old but acts like it.

Another thing. Old topic. Media bias. Read an article on the train back today. On Putin. From this, the man is nothing less than a mysterious, golden hero. He is physically as powerful as he is politically, but not only has he mastered the art of Judo, a physical kind of assertion, he has also mastered diplomacy, by "losing" to a 10-year old girl in one of Japan's famous houses. There are collectable in his image. Coins, chocolates...... He is every Russian girl perfect man to marry. He is The Man. His being PM is just a constitutionally correct was of realising his year 2000 promise:
"Give me 20 years, and I will give you a great country"

Now, read an article on the issue in the western press. Who's right?

We cannot believe anything anyone says. But to not listen is suicide. Life is hard.


Toured tourist SuZhou yesterday. Not all that impressed (treated like 2nd-class citizen).

Toured New SuZhou yesterday. Now, that is what I call beauty. Huge lake. Round. Lined with neon lit pieces of architecture with the showpiece being China's premier movie theater. It's a round cone thing, with a pearl like structure at it's center. All lit in bright, ever-changing lights. All from a beautiful, faux-ancient pagoda build on the surface of the lake with a little path leading up to it. Lit in lights. Perfect place to fall in love. There is of course, a typhoon, so the wind was pretty strong, however, it is summer, so it was a warm, humid kind of wind.

Ah, feel so much better after that rant. After all, all that stuff, the sex and race prejudice, is not really a part of my world. For now. But hey, girls are rising. I mean from all the champions in the Uni Exams, most of them were girls. It's due to the fact that unlike the spoiled little male brats out there, most of us know that we have nothing, have been told that we are nothing, so there is no other choice than for us to create our own things. Is this feminism? Who cares? Nouns are actually create confusion. I mean, no two thing are actually the same, but nouns make us think that is so.

You know what? All the above actually is not a important thing to be considered. I mean, I can't change my race or sex (well..you know my meaning), so, I should just continue on my happy self.

After all, life is unfair.
