Wrong attitudes to blame

from STrait Newspaper

SHANGAI officical said an anti-Japanese demonstration by 20,000 people in the municipallity on Saturday had a been a spontaneous show of sentiment stirred by "Japan's wrong atitudes"

People were 'dissatisfied with Japan's attitudes and action on a series of issues such as its history of aggression" municipal spokeman Jiao Yang said in remarks reported yesterday.

She also called for calm and asked resident not to take part in random demonstrations, adding that Shanghai was "fully Capable" of protecting foreigners in the city.

Her comments echoed those of the central Government last when it blamed Japan for attacks on Japanese Diplomatic missions, shops and resturants in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The central government said all precaustions had been taken to protest foreign interests in the country.

Shangai, China's biggest commercial city, is home to more than 35,000 Japanese nationals and 4,500 Japanese companies, the consulate said.

Thousand of police watched but did little to restrain protesters as they rampaged through Shanghai, stoning Japanese's consulate and smashing cars and Shops.

Japan's Kyodo news agency said two Japanese were injured by the demonstrators.

Amazing Race during xmas 2003 vacation.

Let's me to show you about Nanyang Technological University students took this activites for Deaf Amazing Race on Dec 28,2003. My wife, I and Lina See went to Singapore Assoication for the Deaf, which we need to meet there to began for amazing race. I saw a lot of Singaporean Deaf people and some of Hearing Singaporean students. I saw someone asked Lina about me, "who is that guy" Lina says, it was from Karen s hubby, and He is an American. I looked at them and smiled myself. I dont realized that A lot of Singaporean people shared at me due to my looking differents from others. I am sure that their mind say " where does this guy coming from?" Because I was only one foreign person at Singaporean Association for the Deaf. I don't blame on them. Then our teams named Ken Lai, Lina See, Kenichi Wright, two hearing guys( for an interpreter) for doing amazing race. I am trying to remember where we went to, we went to sectec city, old histories site, little india, and others. We had a lot of running around and find a clue, and had to do something for getting a info of the paper. It took for fives hours and We were winning for second place and got $300 Singapore dollars.

Pub bar

I have had been heard a lot of positive thing about the Nanyang Technological University(NTU)
students who are activies at deaf community and help at the Singapore association for the Deaf (http://www.sadeaf.org.sg) I think, In July 5 to 7, They have a events for climb the mountain and hike with deaf people and hearing students at North Malaysia. I cannot remember name of place, I will ask my friend later.

Last Thurday night, the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) invites us to pub club for meeting new deaf people by the NTU Students. I was surpised that NTU students are more encoursed to hearing or deaf people for doing explore the deaf and hearing community to be aware about deafness in Singapore, so my wife and I decided to go to pub in little india. We never went to pub club in Singapore and it is our first time.. I like to listen(feeling) the music and drink the beer. I met couples of Deaf singaporean people, they told me that USA is best life and good deaf program. I told them, yes, it is true. but they are weak moral culture and don't understand the varies of the culture. bcs of not explore the varies of the culture. Some of American people think, I am best bcs of money business and many reasons. bcs They are idotic. I told them that Singaporeans people have a good moral culture Because The Singapore is perfect spot for flying to asia coutries and go to Australia easier. The Singaporean people are a lot of aware for their four differents langauge: Chinese, tamil, Malaysia and English. But In singapore, Deaf people needs to be better human rights, and do not passive for our rights. Plus, Some of elder Singaporean people think that Deaf people who cannot speak, that mean, They think deaf people are mute and dumb. I think, they don't understand about deaf people community and embassment about their Sign Language; therefore, They are save their skins( not to be embassement) but A lot of Singaporean people uses Gesture a lot. That s part of visual language and body language. I hopeully, Those Younger Singaporean people do better treated to Deaf younger people in the future.

Hello? what s wrong with USA Market for Asian actor/actress?  

Jet Li and Jackie Chan!

Today, I read the newspaper called The Straits Times(Singapore newspaper).

Leaving on a jet plane: HONG KONG----- Los Angeles-based Jet Li is moving home to China bcs he sees potential in its market.
But he is so attached to his LA mansion that he plans to build a replica of it in Shanghai and move there with wife Nina and their two daughters, Hong Kong newspaper reported last Friday.

The gongfu star has reportedly put his mansion up for sale at US $5million (s$8.1 Million) and submitted plans to rebuild it on land he previously bought in the Pudong district.

Last month, a friend of Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan revealved that the latter has put his Beverly Hills home on the market for US$6.7 million as he plans to make his base in China.

In my mind, What is wrong with USA Market for Hong Kongers. They may feel discrimation by the USA Market. Do they make Chinese actor/actress make to be happy to stay USA for their market? that s my question. I do really remember that Bruce Lee was staying in USA for shortly time during the TV show " The green Hornet" The white American(1960's) was dicrimation to Bruce Lee during his tv show and made him unhappy with USA market for their movie. Bruce Lee was supposed to be role model for actor for " the kung fu" during 1968 to 1979. Bruce Lee was really disappointment to be staying USA and alot of problem for USA market. He decided to move to HK for new movie called "The boss" in 1970 and brought new home at Kolwoon, Hong Kong. He got movie star for that reason by the chinese director, who accepted from Bruce Lee's belief of his living. So is there still problem about USA market for Asian people? Look at millium year.. it is 2005. what s wrong with American people for their market? DUh!
