Taunts For Basketball

Teachers still on fake Chinese market, Berlusconi and ASEM, Churrascheria

One Sunday morning in Xujiahui,
by Marc van der Chijs

giving private lessons in the language here is paid from 12 to 15 euro per hour, I went well now, having already found two boys (Jason, an Englishman who wants to marry an Italian, and Diane, a beautiful Filipina who was accompanied by a - to date - our Italian politician). In two weeks will also begin to teach part-time at the School of Italian Language in Zhongshan Park, fifteen hours week.

The area is where I'll go to Xujiahui, famous for the southern station, brothels and some f ake market, on the other hand, the fake market there and elsewhere, as in Fuxin Lu and Fuzhou Lu (two blocks from the Piazza del Popolo, the main square of Shanghai). Both relate to technology stuff: for example you can buy one of those electronic dictionaries Pocket invoice Japanese (speaking English, Chinese, Japanese, and English) at 50 €, whereas in Tokyo it costs 6 times as much. But also in terms of clothing is not joking: if in the shopping center there are only original brand clothing, in street markets there is everything and more, sometimes a price less than 30 times. And often, these items are not fake, they are simply inventories of large brands that are allowed along a parallel market after approval of the large multinationals, in contrast to the feel of it around. In fact, with this system, while the trends are taking hold at low prices, including youth groups, and then strengthen and "legalize" in shopping centers: a boy who begins to dress "trendy" always search for that brand, albeit at higher prices.

Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, the Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi arrived in Beijing to participate in the proceedings of the 7th ASEM should lay the foundations for East-West cooperation. The Chinese political do not see the buon'occhio beyond the Protocol, because of his words a couple of years ago: "China boiled babies were to be used as fertilizer." Expect from him, again, an official apology.

However, I suggest, to relax from politics, to go to a Brazilian restaurant where about 16 euro per person with the food at will, including the most varied buffet, meat and fish, and then, once at the table, a waiter brings you every 5 minutes a piece of meat than the previous one, as one of the best Churrascheria .

If a man scream for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days would produce enough energy to heat one cup of coffee.
