One news caught me attention this morning. I read about a “Haigui” tourist got beaten in Sanya when travelling there with his family. And they were treated very badly even at local police station. The news is spread in several well known overseas Chinese web sites. Obviously things have turned around, now the vice Mayor of Sanya issued appology.

Back to School

No I did not go back to school for MBA or something. Actually I went to a nearby school for lunch with my coworkers this noon. I have tried a few places inside the Cloud Nine building. They are not expensive but not cheap if we consider the 1:4 ratio I derived a while ago. And I need to keep the Ajisen Raman as my last choice so that I would not get tired of it as I did with Panera or Fazoli’s in St. Louis. My coworkers have similar feelings. So we went to the school cafeteria (or canteen) and I paid 9 Yuan for a very decent lunch.

The school we went for lunch was very famous and has a western name before 1949. It is one of the top law schools in China nowadays. Maybe someone can guess its name? Hint: the school is near Zhong Shan Park.
