China Summer

How to survive in the heat...

"But nothing defines China’s most sweltering season (or bewilders foreigners) more than the curious sartorial habits of grown men who neatly roll up their shirts to reveal bellies, often in glorious plenitude, without the teeniest hint of shame (nor the teeniest hint of a six-pack).

The exposed midriff, visible in shops, restaurants and hospital waiting rooms, often has a companion flourish, with practitioners rolling up their pants legs to just below the knee."

China Wears Wrong Flag at Rio Olympics

China Outraged After Discovering the Rio Olympics Got Their Flag Wrong. 

Chinese flags used during the opening ceremony and two medal ceremonies at the Olympics featured an arc of four small stars laid upright, all at the same angle, bordering one big star. The actual Chinese national flag looks similar, but the smaller stars are angled so they point back toward the big star.

Correct flag 

Were the Olympic one's made in China?

Don't Waste...

My parents never told me to waste things...

A Chinese woman passenger who downed an entire bottle of expensive cognac at Beijing’s main airport was barred from boarding because she was “too drunk to fly”, a local newspaper reported.

The woman, surnamed Zhao, was found rolling on the floor at a boarding gate at Beijing Capital International Airport, shouting and screaming, according to a police officer who attended the scene.

“She was so drunk… she couldn’t even stand up herself. We took her to a room in a wheelchair so she could rest,” the officer told The Beijing Times.

The captain of the Wenzhou-bound flight refused to allow Zhao on the plane on Friday as she was travelling alone, and was concerned that her condition could affect safety on board.

According to the report, Zhao was stopped from bringing a bottle of Rémy Martin XO Excellence in her hand luggage.

Passengers are prohibited from bringing liquids over 100ml in their hand luggage in China.

Fearing the prized liquor would go to waste – a 700ml bottle costs about US$200 (HK$1,500) – she downed the entire bottle.

Zhao, who is said to be about 40, bought the bottle at a US airport and was transferring to a domestic flight in Beijing.

Zhao woke up some hours later and thanked police for taking care of her. They contacted her family members who took her home.

Bootleg Special: Dubs Edition

Suspiciously low-priced T-shirts that Warrior fans snapped up during the team’s championship run probably won’t survive the first wash cycle, according to federal officials.

Seeking to keep counterfeiters from biting into NBAprofits, Homeland Security agents in San Francisco announced Monday that they seized almost $500,000 worth of bogus basketball memorabilia in a monthlong operation.

They said vendors throughout the Bay Area marketed the goods to often unwitting Warriors fans — though some fans knowingly buy knockoffs because of the hefty price tags on the official stuff.

Beginning with the Western Conference finals on May 19, the customs agents cracked down on roughly 100 vendors — some repeat offenders — who sold more than 14,000 items ranging from T-shirts with faulty stitching to hats with tags missing the official NBA holograms, officials said.

The estimated value of $500,000 represented the suggested retail price for bona fide merchandise.

Tatum King, deputy special agent in charge of investigations, advised fans to second-guess great deals.

“We ask the buyer beware, because when you’re getting a T-shirt three for $10, that’s a clue,” he said. “If it’s too good to be true, it usually is.”
