Olympic Flame On Top of the Everest
The torch has made it to the top of the Mount Qomolangma/Mount Everest and was ignited by Norbu Zhamdu at 9:18am May 8.
It’s the first time the torch went that high. Let’s hope the rest of the journey will be in the same spirit.

Element Fresh Dots And Staff Toilets
The place is close, Nanjing Lu, the coffee is getting more expensive every time (regular Yunnan brew from 12 Rmb to 16 Rmb) but the terrace makes up for that.
There’s just one thing that keeps amazing me, and this is based on 4 years of research.
Every time I go to the bathroom it’s occupied. And every time it’s one of the staffers. Now I understand that staffers also need moments of rest and quietness and I wholly endorse that but please give them their own toilets.

ZonaEuropa’s Title Tag Changed to EastSpitjWestNorth
Update
Mystery solved, it was a typo and it has been corrected, see comment by ESWN.
While getting updated on the latest in China I visited the always very informative EastSouthWestNorth blog to read the translated essay by Huangfu Ping.
Suffering slightly from professional deformation I didn’t start reading the text of the article right away but looked first at the top left corner where the title tag is displayed.
EastSpitjWestNorth, it reads. Is it a typo, was it hacked or something else?

Starbucks Likes You to Visit Their Website
No matter how much I like Starbucks for their 12 rmb coffee of the day, how many people do they expect to type in this URL.
