  How this awful world can go and hold games in a country where they leave newborn babies to die, is quite beyond me and a civilised society. Why dont people stand up and be counted and refuse to go to such a backward barbaric country. I feel sick at the very thought of all the happy faces there and babies dying in rooms not far away. WAKE UP PEOPLE

• Dali (大理)

  Dali (大理) is one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. It's one of the most sought-after attractions to westerners and expats because of its historic sites and its "western" flavor of some streets in Dali's Old Town: western music, western food, and English-speaking shop owners.
  Dali's climate is temperate with moderate summers and mild winters (a bit windy in autumns and winters). The top attractions are the silver Cangshan Mountains (苍山) (about 4, 200 meters at the peak) to the west of Dali Old Town, and the jade Erhai Lake (洱海) a few miles to the east of Dali.

  I hope some one can help me. It's not like my life depends on knowing this or not but I would really like to know what this clock is saying. It came in the mail from China a week ago and I have not been able to figure it out. I would guess because this LDU Company business is in China that it is Chinese, but you never know, maybe the clock was made in China for Russians? The website is http://www.lducompany.comand the link to the sega sonic the hedgehog clock is on this page http://www.liangdianup.com/clocks_1.htm
  
  There is a video on thier website on the sonic hedgehog clock page and you can hear what the clock is saying. If some one could tell me exactly what it is saying I would appreciate it. Thank you

  First I wish all foreigners visit Beijing can have a wonderful time.I believe that every Chinese people , as an amphitryon, will show their fervor and amicability to our foreign friends.
  For me, I am a landlord of a small house in Beijing.and I wonder if their is somebody that want to find a cheap house in Beijing during the 2008 Olympics.
  Simply describe my house:
  This is my own room, it located just beside the third ring.and the station of the 5th subway is just downstarts named "He Ping Xi Qiao Station".you can take the subway to the birds nest directly in just 15 to 20 minutes.It's about 3.5 kilometers from the Olympic village, and you just need to pay 14
  yuan reach their by taxi.
  But I have to say, the room is just middle decorated, so I will give you a suitable price for it, but I can assure you that it's very clean and comfortble.And also it's very quiet, you can image how hard it is to find a quiet house at the same time have a good traffic condition, as I side, all you need to do to reach the subway station is walk downstairs, and that's why I choose to buy the house
  the house is about 40 square meters, and all furnitures prepared.
  actually, the purpose I decided to rent my house out is partly because I want to earn my schooling fee of the next year.and also, as I said, to be a amphitryon, I want to devote my capability in helping someone that I can help.I did a parttime job last year as a translater in"santosa tea house"--the best teahouse in China, for the fee of last year.so I think you can tell me if you have any problem and I will try my best to help you.and this promise is available whether you rent my room or not:)
  you can e-mail to robert0435@163.com or robert0435_2006@hotmail.com to contact me, and also you know my name robert:)I will reply to you as soon as possible, if you want to know something more about my room, we can talk through e-mail.
  Wish we can be good friends.
