		<title>Go away winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just when it seemed like spring was coming this happens.  Now it feels like I'm stuck back in January.

This is actually the second time it's snowed in Beijing this month. Tomorrow I'll have to ride my bike in this to get to class. I have to say, winter can go screw itself.

		<title>Networking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, I've become a member of an "illegal" group.
A month ago I joined the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China. Last night the group had a get-together, and I had a chance to meet quite a few members of the foreign media working in Beijing.
"We're illegal," the president of the club said to me, making clear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bunnies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Lots of things are sold on the streets in Beijing. Even pet shops can be pretty mobile. This cart, which was towed by a bicycle, carried with it fish, birds and other pets.
I was tempted to buy a bunny.

		<title>Back to school</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a month of vacation, the new semester has started at my university. Now I have to get up at 6:50 a.m. Sigh...
Upon returning to my Chinese language classes this week, I met with old friends and saw plenty of new faces.
On the downside, I have homework again. I can't get myself to do it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chinese hell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you go to a Daoist temple in China, you might catch some graphic images of what Diyu 地狱 or hell looks like. As you can tell it's not a very fun place.
This particular display showed what it's like in "Six Cao Hell". "The statues lively tell the stories of Retribution Theory of Daosim and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pingyao</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Earlier this week I traveled to Pingyao, which is located in central China. What's special about this place is that it's one of the most well preserved medieval towns in the country. A lot of what you see there looks the way it did hundreds of years ago during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 [...]]]></description>

		<title>I will stab you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
While traveling this past week, I tried to wield this spear. It was pretty heavy and nearly as tall as myself. Back in the day, bodyguards would escort transported goods while carrying these as their weapons. One can imagine a past, where people carried a weapon to work everyday. A society full of badasses.

		<title>Former enemies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
About an hour drive away from Beijing is the National Aviation Museum, where China's military heroism is out in full display.
Pictured above is a Chinese F-7 fighter jet，which went into service for the People's Liberation Army during the mid to late 60's. Proudly written on a nearby display reads: "The PLA Air Force pilots once [...]]]></description>
