Stupid things happening everyday in China
1. Before and during the Olympics, my friend in Hong Kong is not allowed to send packaged food by express company.
2. Most hotels are not allowed to accommodate foreigners, unless they have special “Foreigner Accommodation” certificate.
3. Only in 4-star and 5-star hotels are you allowed to watch foreign TV programs. Damn, if foreign TV is brain-washing and mind-corrupting, why is it legitimate in good hotels?
4. If you are not born in big cities like Shanghai or Beijing, you are not legitimate to live there without a “Temporary Staying Card”.
5. A normal house in big cities like Shanghai or Beijing costs over USD100,000 which is equal to 20 years’ full salary of an average Chinese citizen.
6. In the best universities like Peking Univ. (or Beijing Univ.), there are really smart and hard-working Chinese students, but they can only access domestic websites by default, unless they officially pay a “foreign network access” fee every month.
