I should have long figured out why people have food biases (ie prefers not to eat products of certain kinds, usually meat). Because the are cute. Or lovable, depending on how you see it. Essentially you become some kind of animal racist eating only the few meats because you eat them often and got used to them/ they do not have a place that high in your heart so you cool/ you have dietary restrictions etc.

Meat is meat. Why isn't killing chickens as cruel as killing dogs for food, just because we have domesticated them and got a soft spot for them? (China doesn't kill any dogs fyi, they actually have "farmers" breeding specific dogs to grow and eat instead. Of course, given China's bad PR outside of its country, it's understandable if you don't believe...)


Today damn regret, we went to the Factory Tour to Wugang (where they make, craft and generally doing metallurgy) and there was this really cool uncle in his blue factory uniform, wearing black sunglasses, a yellow helmet and a flaming welder on his left hand, looking at us, and I failed to take a picture of him! His posture there and then simply exudes a kind of biker manliness, like those beefy Japanese factory uncles. URRRK.

And I feel damn bad when the first thing I can think while stepping into the factory is:" Halo Reach last level! The shipyard! Pillar Of Autumn!". Considering how they can simply have sample shots of factories dealing with metal making and then craft a futuristic but recognisable future of the ship breaking facilities (vats of molten metal, walkways for personnel only, conveyor belts, spare parts littered all over the place)...
Sorry brief nerdgasm while in the factory :x

Rockmelt's a pretty awesome browser to use while over here in China, I can still receive twitter and facebook feeds without a vpn, and do limited postings on facebook and only being unable to retweet followed tweets from protected users. How it does it I don't know, but hey, no one's complaining! Of course having a vpn is still much better hurhurhur. Poor Tor. Installed it but can't get it to work here :(
China makes me sleep earlier than I used to like school time early wonder if that would still be the case when I get back to Singapore.
