Strippers At Funerals? Only In China...And They Going To Ban It

Came across this interesting news article from the BBC. They reported that they are going to ban a local rural tradition of hiring strippers at funerals.

Why strippers at funerals? Well the local people in Donghai believes the more people that attends one's funeral, the more honoured that one will be in the sending off to the after-life.

But where's the honour in that? Just because a bunch of sex-craved drunk passer-bys attends your funeral, does that make you more honourable? Man, I swear, although I love my heritage, there's are also something which makes you think again. I certainly don't want a stripper at my funeral to attract people who I don't know in my sending off!

But my mates in UK may disagree and think otherwise. Maybe this will catch on in other places and become fashionable?

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK...

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.

Superman Snappy

Snap the man of steel and score points! My first attempt, I got 82. This will just have to do until I get a new camera.
