Shanghai China Snippets Observations about living in Shanghai and China in general

I am frustrated, I am underpaid, my boss forces me to work too much and give him a hongbao to get a promotion.

My wife keeps on nagging me that I have to make more money. I have to have a car, an apartment, a mistress and buy my kid an entrance to a good [tag]Chinese[/tag] as well an overseas university.

Oh yeah, my family keeps on pressing me to send half of my salary their way. You’re still reading… you want to meet up? Come over tomorrow to the [tag]Rising Sun[/tag] Anger Release Bar in [tag]Nanjing[/tag].

Look for the guy who is beating out the crap of a man that looks like the typical lazy laoban (boss).

Or..

My clients try to grope me all over and I can’t do anything about it or I loose my job.

Customers in the restaurant yell at me all the time, look away when they talk to me and hand me the money and my husband is never home. I don’t even want to start thinking what he is doing out there.

Look for the girl slamming that fat, bold guy with a spoon in his hand.

Fiction, not really. The bar exists since April and is pretty popular.

The bar is the brainchild of Wu Gong.

he got his inspiration from similar bars in [tag]Japan[/tag], but felt a personal need for the type of service after his experiences as a migrant worker in [tag]Guangdong[/tag] Province.

The bar employs 20 “models,” well-built men in their 20s and 30s, who are available to be hit. Customers can specify how they want the models to appear they can even dress as women and then they are free to give them a sound beating.

It’s not a very harmonious way of dealing with one’s feelings, is it?

In a very pro-active fashion Mouding county in [tag]Yunnan[/tag] province, [tag]China[/tag] has killed almost all of his dogs. Noooo, not because they were hungry.

It has all been handled in a very harmonious way:

On Saturday, a woman was walking her dog – a small white animal she’d had for a long time – in a Yunnan Province alley.

Several men approached, talked her into handing them the leash and then beat the dog to death as the owner looked on in horror.

In an effort to fight against the spread of rabies 54,429 canines are now chasing cats in dog heaven. It seems rather drastic but then again there were already some casualties so time for rigorous action to squash all the [tag]Chinese[/tag] goofies and plutos.

Witnesses indicated the slaughter was often carried with the sort of dramatic elements found in a grade-B horror film.

Around midnight, shadows would flash along the walls of homes as men carrying clubs made noises to set the village dogs barking. Homing in on the sounds, the men would find their quarries, and the barks would be replaced by shrill yelps as the animals were dispatched.
