I used to live here

This was the house that we lived in from ~1994-2000, which is the longest period of time we stayed in one place (I can think of at least seven places on this island we lived in). Doesn't the house look scary? I am convinced it is haunted. My brother and I had a lot of fun in this house- it is where my starring role was filmed, DIY landscaping (including a fountain!) as well as raising several generations of dogs.

I wonder who owns the house now, and if the guava tree in the backyard is still there.

广州

From China Hush, but was first translated from Netease-

At the end of 2008, Guangzhou was identified as a pilot city for the construction of democracy and the rule of law. And on January 1st, this was put into practice. This means that in administrative areas, water, electricity, gas, the price adjustments of public services, matters of emergency response, the central government will report to the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Congress. In the event that the central government makes decisions that exceed their power, the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress can revoke those decisions according to law. Waste incineration, power generation and other livelihood issues are now to be decided by the People’s Congress.

While 关系 fueled local politicians and their friends will still run the government, this is something.

I read an article in the China Daily relating the Tibetan Mastiff to be a symbol of the monied class. LOOK AT THAT FACE!
