My last word for this blog is Asians

I know it is sad but all good things must come to an end so I will dedicate my last blog to Asians. We all know Arnold Schwarzenegger is pretty strong before he got lazy and became the governor of California, well this Chinese guy named Xie Zhongcai was able to pull a minivan with his ears and eye lids at Anhui, China. Surprised? There is only one word to describe it: amazing. Or how Stephen Colbert would describe it “It’s massive”. So how did he do it? As you can see in the picture, he tied a rope from a minivan to his ears and start pulling. But that is not what he is all capable of. His eye lids are just as strong. Next he used a device and attached it to his eye lids and pulled the same minivan. That is just to show you big things do come in small package. For example, most Asians may look small and timid but we are compact (as in strong) and fierce (when needed). However, I do not think Arnold Schwarzenegger’s eye lids or ears are capable of moving something as massive as a minivan.




However Xie Zhongcai was not the only one that can pull minivan with special ears or eye lids. Zhang Tingting who was just as amazing as or maybe better than Xie Zhongcai pulled 10 cars with her pig tails in Tongzhou district, Beijin. This 50 years old woman who is also old kung fu master and a Buddhist as you see can accomplish this feat even though she is at the age of a grandmother. Does this make you wonder if your grandmother can perform cool tricks like Zhang can? If you do not believe me here is the video. Like they say action speak louder than words.

This week word is Love.

I believed I had explained how vicious Asian women are, especially when they get married. But hey, people believed love can conquer just about anything such as age, gender, and sometimes a good beating. Telegraph news presents a 32 year old man in China got beaten by his wife at least once a week. According to Mr. Zhang, he often gets into an argument with his wife, who had been studying martial arts at young age, and what followed were bruises and battle scars afterward because he does want to lose any arguments. Because. Of course you would think there is a possible divorce coming for domestic violence, but Zhang still loves his wife. He noted he suffered this abuse while they were dating, but he likes he style. I guess he lost too many brain cells to make any logical decisions. After all those beating he decided he body could not take it anymore and formulated a contract. This contract states if his wife ever resorts to violence he would have to returns to her parents’ home for 3 days. I guess that a smart decision: he rather gets a cold war rather than hot war.



Like I said some people out there believes love can conquer anything. Well for this Japanese man, Sal9000, it is virtual reality. This guy decided to marry Nene Anegasaki, a fictional woman in a game called, Love Plus. This is a dating simulation game that allows the player to woo a virtual girlfriend. Sal900 was finally to tie at Guam, a country that will let people marry anything, since Japan prohibited the marriage of man and video game. According to online sources he posted a stream of this even on Nico Nico Douga, similar to YouTube. After the mock weeding at Guam, he came back to Japan and had an official reception including a real priest (How did you get a priest?). I guess virtual wife is better than real wife, at least he won’t end up with bruises like the first guy.

Word of the week is food




Inevitably everyone will crave for food sooner or later, but what are the chances for bean flavored beverages. I am Chinese and my people love beans. It does not matter what type dish or beverage they will order/buy it. Personally I hated it and I could not understand their taste bud. Ultimately I had to ask “Do beans taste good?” My parents told me yes. Of course I was skeptical about their answers because my mother is a health freak and she forces us, including our father, to eat whatever she deemed fit. Unfortunately I may be wrong. Bean flavored Pepsi was released in Japan recently. I have heard of tea flavored cola in Asia but bean flavored cola is just outrageous. Apparently bean flavored food consumptions have been so popular and high demanded, they were able to force Pepsi into making a bean flavored cola. I hate to admit but maybe my parents are right: most Asians like beans.





Ever wonder what is our favorite communist Kim Jong Il doing in North Korea? Maybe plotting another threat to take over the world? Apparently food is on top of his agenda. According to telegraph news he sent a group of North Korean chefs to Naples and Rome to learn authentic recipes and techniques to make Italian food. Now he can enjoy authentic Italian food without traveling halfway way across the world and threatened Italy to make him food. Or did he? "Our people should be also allowed to enjoy the world-famous food," claimed Kim. Which made me wonder. Wasn’t there a shortage of food lately in North Korea. If memory serve me correctly he also had Italian chefs sent from Italy to teach his military officers to make pizza, so the country (riches) can enjoy western delicacies. I guess his country is not really starving. At the same time he was saving his food he was able to threaten US to test his long distance rocket at the test site. I guess he could do both, enjoying food and destroy the world at the same time.
