Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: October 2006
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Friday, October 13, 2006. There's a good, balanced article on Danwei.com. Where I found these dictionary definitions from the current Xinhua Dictionary (Xinhua is the Chinese government's official news agency). I thought I would post some of their dictionary definitions here because it emphasises some of my earlier posts with regard to the poor treatment of animals. 鲳 [butterfish]: Flesh is tender and fatty with a delicious flavor. Links to this post. I still believe that...

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: Curse of the Spam Filter?
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2007/07/curse-of-spam-filter.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Friday, July 20, 2007. Curse of the Spam Filter? So, is it me, or is it Spam Filtering? Being a decent (ahem) individual, I came across three instances recently where I saw that people had issues with their websites and contacted them:. They had a sponsored link on a Google page for a product I was interested in, but the link didn't actually work. I emailed them out of kindness (oh alright and a 'completer finisher' personality trait) and they fixed the link. So, it is me?

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: December 2006
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Friday, December 29, 2006. So, tagged eh? To J at the Granite Studio. For tagging me. There are an awful lot of China blogs out there now and, most of them have more readers than this one so it's nice to think that I've managed to make someone chuckle. The assignment was "7 successes in 2006" or "5 things most people don't know about you". I was already working on the successes as a round up of 2006 so that's probably too easy so I'm going to take on both tasks at once.

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: September 2006
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Sunday, September 24, 2006. It has been suggested that things shouldn't surprise me after 3 years of living in China. It's true that most questions that begin with 'Why? Are probably best answered with 'Why not? But some of the things people have done to get my business are simply crazy. I can't imagine what they were thinking but they actually told all this to Company B who told me. I can only imagine that their thinking was 'If we don't supply it at all we'll lose t...

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: It's Getting Warm
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2007/07/its-getting-warm.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Wednesday, July 18, 2007. Ah, Hangzhou in the summer. These lazy, hazy summer days. They certainly can be hazy but you need to understand they're not lazy because you're not doing anything, just that you'd have a heart attack and die if you tried to move at a faster pace. Right now Weather.com reckons it's 34 (feels like 39) whereas tomorrow is going to be an even sunnier 37 (feels like 43 - gotta love that humidity). Don't you wish you were in Hangzhou right now?

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: February 2007
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. It appears that China has just successfully developed the first Cyborg - the dictionary. Lean towards a cyborg being part human but it simply defined from cybernetic and organism so I think this counts. Behold, China has created the first cybernetic. pigeon. According to this article in Danwei the hapless pigeon can be made to take of and fly round in circles by remote control. Links to this post. Thursday, February 22, 2007. I also (and the ...

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: Frankie Update
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2007/07/frankie-update.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Thursday, July 12, 2007. Originally uploaded by Ambling Sheep. So, it's been a while since I wrote about little Frankie. Hard to believe that she's getting on for 8 months now. She is very rapidly moving out of the phase where I guess a lot of guys would describe as "Very nice. but what does it do? To being a little person. Within the last two weeks she has learned to clap, can finally wave 'bye-bye' and, if you hold her up, dance to music. Nice Bloggers I Know.

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: Live in China Forever?
http://ambling-sheep.blogspot.com/2007/07/live-in-china-forever.html
Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Saturday, July 21, 2007. Live in China Forever? I have been asked on many occasions "So, are you going to live in China forever or are you going to come back to the UK? I don't believe it's an either or, but there certainly is an answer which is "I'm not going to live in China forever". I can hear both of my loyal readers ask. Well, it's not the people, the politics, the traffic, the noise, the spitting, the lack of queuing, etc., etc. 23 July, 2007 01:48.

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep: June 2007

Crouching Tiger - Ambling Sheep. Saturday, June 30, 2007. Originally uploaded by Ambling Sheep. OK, sorry - this is a cheap gag because I haven't had time to post anything meaningful in ages but. what the hell is this? Answers on a comment please. I actually bought it (just so that I could photograph it) for 6 RMB but I can't imagine what it's actually supposed to do. Knowing that it can 'jig' up to 10kg of 'tood' a total distance of 360mm really doesn't help. Originally uploaded by Ambling Sheep. And he...
