Bushes' 'new world order' hits snag
2008-10-12 07:36:00
Or does it?Bushes' 'New World Order' Is Yielding to 'Post-American' Era by James G. Neuger makes a case for Chinese and Russian supremacy over the seriously undermined U.S. of A. and Neuger makes excellent points, yet I'm not so quick to buy all of it hook, line, and sinker.In my 'new world order' reading there is a certain list telling which entities will be the eventual leaders in hierarchical order and if it's to be believed, America is not and never was, slated to be top of the heap in the one-world-government endeavor. (Click link, then click through to an article, Planet Earth As Weapon and Target.)Well, as I've groused on this blog and elsewhere, it's easy to say things like: Bush is a failure, and Iraq is a quagmire, etc...unless you agree that things, as Cheney and Rummy always said, are going well, thanks. For neocon purposes, perhaps they are! And they weren't just saying it, they were admitting it.The lousy occurrences under Bush43's presidential terms, in ...

New Hotels in Beijing
2008-08-31 12:23:00
Beijing Hotels Update Beijing continues to have a high rate of new hotels being developed in preparation not only for the Olympics but also for the ever increasing numbers of tourism and business travelers visiting the city. The massive expansion in the hotel industry is not just in five star hotels but includes three and four star hotels along with the slow to develop boutique hotels. Increasing numbers of hotels will continue to be built after the Olympics to cater for growing demands of travelers. Enticingly stylish boutique hotels can be found developing in some of Beijing?s ancient hutongs among the courtyard homes and busy street life that characterizes the hutongs. Other boutique hotels have been newly built and prove more popular with the Chinese market than hotels developed from poverty associated courtyard homes. New Five Star Hotels include: The Opposite House www.theoppositehouse.com Building 1#11 Sanlitun LuChaoyang DistrictBeijing 100027Tel:...

Beijing Olympics Quote Of The Day
2008-08-26 08:35:00
Of course this one is late, but I just heard it on The Daily Show, where Jon Stewart refers to the little girl who sang the opening night song, but whose face did not make it on TV: You thought your middle school days were tough? Imagine if your government got together and decided yohttp://calpolymbatrip.com/200-8/china/jon-stewart-is-still-a--god/u were not cute. UPDATE: Some consider Stewart worthy of deification and use him as part of their graduate level syllabus. On a somewhat related note (using pop culture as a learning device), while listening to Bruce Springsteen's, The Rising, this morning, I concluded that if one listed to every song by Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Marvin Gaye, one ought to get at least 16 hours college credit in sociology, political science and US history, 1965-2008. Do you agree?

Beijing Olympics - The beginnning of a 24 days penance
2008-08-24 02:51:00
It was 08:08 PM on the 8th of August 2008. A point in the day when all counters of life were at '8' - a number some considered auspicious and yet others not so auspicious, the reason for which, I really do not know. Beijing was lit up with fireworks and lightings and the Bird's Nest hosted the grand opening ceremony of the Olympics Games. China has spent a huge amount of money on hosting this Olympics which is going to be an event spanning 24 days in the month of August. There are quite a few gold medals to be won in the games. The total cost of the celebrations in the opening ceremony of the Games was about $70,00,000. The next 24 days is going to be festive season for everyone. Television news channels which had not had any scoops for the past few days will have plenty of things to cover. They would for sure make huge money covering the entire event. So will the sponsors, not to talk about the participants, who have spent their lives waiting for this event. It i...

Beijing Olympics Quote Of The Day

This one from Steve Kelley, consistently excellent sportswriter for the Seattle Times, in an article entitled, "Usain Bolt electrifies Beijing, winning the 200 in a world-record time": If you're old enough to remember the first time you saw Muhammad Ali, the first time you saw Roberto Clemente, the first time you saw Magic Johnson, watching Bolt has that same never-seen-it-before feeling.

Beijing Olympics Quote Of The Day
2008-08-19 09:55:00
James Fallows telling us not to worry about the plethora of "I love China" decals we are seeing on so many Chinese people's faces: History is full of examples of "rising national powers" getting the big head, feeling arrogant, and doing dangerous things. That's not the main feeling I get here. It's negative Chinese nationalism, like what appeared after the protests over the Olympic torch relay in April, that we should worry about. So a confident China is to be congratulated; a victimized-feeling China is the one to be feared.

Beijing Olympics Quote Of The Day
2008-08-19 03:37:00
Too good a line not to repeat. It is from a Lost Laowai post, entitled, "Beijing: Chinatown in Disneyland," reflecting on the atmosphere in Beijing during the Olympics: The Beijing people seem happy in the way that the staff at a five star hotel are happy, but not in the way that a group of old men playing mahjong in a hutong are happy.

As you were in the J. League as Kashima maintain lead
2008-08-18 04:18:00
Kashima Antlers remain top of the J. League after thrashing Tokyo Verdy 4-1 in front of 21,437 fans at Kashima Stadium.Shinzo Koroki kicked off a routine victory for the defending champions, before Daiki Iwamasa powered home a header just before the break to hand the Antlers a commanding two-goal lead. Second half strikes from Marquinhos and substitute Takuya Nozawa completed the rout, although Verdy's Diego did manage to conjure a late consolation strike for the capital outfit.A bumper crowd of 37,154 turned out at Ajinomoto Stadium, however the home fans went home disappointed as Urawa Reds stole the points from hosts FC Tokyo. After Naohiro Takahara - twice - and Tatsuya Tanaka had hit the woodwork, midfielder Takahito Soma showed his strikers how it's done, beating the offside trap before volleying home in front of the travelling Reds army.High flying Oita Trinita continued their excellent run of form, as new signing Yasuhito Morishima scored his first goal for the club courte...

The 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony was held at the Beijing National Stadium or "Bird's Nest". It began at 8:00 PM or 20:00 China Standard Time on the 8th of August 2008. The number 8 is associated with prosperity and confidence in Chinese culture. The ceremony was directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou and the event was comprised of 15,000 cast. It was said that it was the most spectacular Opening ceremony at the history of Olympics ever produced.A rich assembly of ancient Chinese art and culture dominated the ceremony. It opened with the beating of Fou drums for the countdown. Subsequently, a giant scroll was unveiled and became the show's centerpiece. The official song of the 2008 Olympics was performed by Britain's Sarah Brightman and China's Liu Huan, and was titled You and Me.Former Chinese gymnast Li Ning ignited the cauldron.The entry parade of the competing athletes was in a different order from previous Olympic ceremonies, because it was not in ordinary alpha...

Visiting Beijing Olympic Venues
2008-05-07 16:01:00
As tourists continue to flock to Beijing there are some who are wondering how they can access the two most popular Olympic venues.Tours are available with companies like Beijing Hub of Tour Dispatch company. While the name sounds awkward when translated into English this company does provide tours at reasonable prices. A drawback for those wanting to plan ahead is that quite often the tours are not confirmed until the day of travel as the company requires a minimum of 15 bookings per bus.An example of one tour is Line 3 taking in Shisanling, Ming Tombs, Olympic Stadiums and the Summer Palace for 170RMB per adult or 125RMB per child. Alternatively Line 1 tour stays more within the confines of Beijing and visits Temple of Heaven, CCTV Tower, Summer Palace and Olympic stadiums.The company can be contacted on 8353-1111.Another way to tour the Olympic Venues is to buy tickets to the Good Luck Beijing sporting events.
