Where Can I Get Matula
Who is and who is not seen is not worth living if you do not think about it, we are awake or sleeping ... Lately I
exercising extreme patience in the office of which I participate every day working week, five days and sometimes, because we are Chinese, the weekends to "recover" some day a bridge that we have " given. " Too many quotes, not stand it.
conspiracy theory, I do not know if my work is true, is real. An island, I feel, surrounded by Chinese, sometimes in communion and others in disagreement with them and this city. I look back in time almost two years now ... Yesterday was Qixi
(the night of the seven), the day of love in China, held on seven of the seventh lunar month, and I said I saw too many bouquets of flowers into the street. And the guy who sang, Tibetan, shouting, down the street from Gongti Bei Lu. He knew that the other side of the phone would be his girlfriend.
Niuliang (the star Altair) and Zhinu (the star Vega) were two lovers doomed to live apart for eternity by the river of the Milky Way. However, once a year, the seventh day after the seventh moon, formed a bridge between the two so they can spend together overnight.
... And like many celebrations that took the Japanese mythology and tradition of China, this festival is one of them. Tanabata is called in Japan, but it is also true, as with many Eastern traditions, the holiday is celebrated with more vigor and dedication in Japan than in mainland China today. Chinese flower sellers failed to sell even half the roses sold for Valentine's Day celebration. I do not know how for certain aspects of the Chinese are so receptive to Western culture and other things ... just the opposite.
stars Vega and Altair are alpha, that is, the brightest stars of the constellation Lyra and Eagle respectively. Along with Deneb, alpha-star in the constellation Cygnus, which are supported sonbre star larks to form the bridge between loved ones, form the Summer Triangle.
How beautiful summer nights. Observe the celestial dome. Something I've always enjoyed doing in Santa Cruz or any starry night in Spain. I am inspired when the skies of Beijing also let me.

How Long Does It Take For Deodorant To Work
In Beijing the issue of refuse collection has always been a mystery to me.
more than the collection, I know how it is carried out and further explain, what bothered me was where and how they got rid of the waste. Here there are no garbage trucks.
Living in hutong Douban
me much closer to the Chinese lifestyle, to know the daily life of an average Chinese Peking. In Douban I feel as one people, all grandparents feel to take the air when night falls, playing Majiang and dog walkers. They sit in chairs that do not rise more than eight inches of soil and see the people passing by. Within the compound where my home (the number two, which comprises twelve blocks of houses, twenty-three floors each) are neglected and low plants where playing pingpong - the lords, or dance with fans - ladies' . Starring
are also bins. Overflowing all day, only have a break at eight o'clock, when my dear friend dump (daily greets me and tells me - almost incriminating, if I'm late for work) is responsible for emptying the containers with a shovel.
and shovel to cart pulled by the bike. I can not even count how many trips have to do to get rid of this shit.
But look, when compared to London or bad, that I recall from Kensington Court there was only rubbish collection once a week. Years later, when I lived in Bayswater believe that the frequency had risen to two to three times weekly. Now I do not know.
And the hole bike ever again.
