Reading Time: < 1 minute I stopped by the Ted Drewes today, the best Ice Cream place in St. Louis. Surprisingly, it only has two stores in St. Louis, and the owners intentionly kept it that way.

Reading Time: < 1 minute His name is “Dai Tou Da Ge”, here is his blog at Netease (163.com). According to many sources, his blog was more popular than Ms. Xu Jinglei’s blog at Sina, although he only blogged for three months. Not surprisingly his topic is Stock Market.
