我的一天

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , , , , on September 28, 2006 | 2 Comments »

Today’s homework is to write about a typical day in my Beijing life. Enjoy.
我每天早上六点半起床。早饭我常吃米酒汤或者馒头。因为大学有点儿远所以我差一刻八点应该去教室。虽然走路比较长久但是我喜欢。八点半上课。我们每天都有四节课、十二点半下课。下课以后我跟同学们一起去吃午饭。我们有时候在食堂吃、有时候在校园外面的饭店吃。然后我回去家。下午如果我累我休息一下。我常常用电脑编程、听音乐、上上网跟朋友们一起聊天儿、给爸爸妈妈发电邮。晚上我做饭、做作业、洗澡。我大概十一点钟睡觉、以后做梦奇妙。

Don’t worry mom

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , on September 27, 2006 | 2 Comments »

Since my previous food related post, I’ve actually succeeded at ordering vegan food every time. Today I went to eat dinner without any friends or dictionaries and still succeeded to communicate my wishes. There weren’t even any pictures in the menu! My standard phrase is now 《我什么肉也不吃，你有素菜吗？》 and it hasn’t failed yet. The problem now [...]

Humanisterna

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , on September 23, 2006 | 4 Comments »

About a Swedish organization I recently discovered, Humanisterna.
För några månader sen såg jag en debatt på Nyhetsmorgon mellan en “häxa” och en person som sa en massa bra saker, sånt som jag skulle vilja säga. Idag läste jag på SVT Opinion om det omoraliska i att hindra stamcellsforskning på religiös grund och tyckte att det [...]

A few pictures

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , on September 18, 2006 | 7 Comments »

I apologize for the appalling lack of pictures so far. I don’t want to carry around my camera everywhere, but here’s a few pictures for you anyway:

I really am in China. This is the flag in front of Tiananmen.

I was a bit lost the first day and visited another university.
BLCU doen’t have a Mao statue, [...]

Hej då Sverige

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , on September 18, 2006 | No Comments »

About the results in the Swedish election. I am not pleased.
Jaha, så vann borgarna valet, lagom kul. Nu kan vi väl glömma att Sverige ska föra en bra miljö- eller utrikespolitik. Djurskyddsmyndigheten lär dom väl också lägga ner. Något spår av feminism har väl ingen sett till hos borgarna heller. Nu ska vi alla vara [...]

Tangdynastin och Li Ruihuan

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , , on September 17, 2006 | No Comments »

Sorry, this is about a Chinese version of a Swedish song and is therefore written in Swedish and Chinese.
Eftersom jag har tråkigt idag sitter jag vid datorn och lyssnar på Doktor Kosmos. Sista spåret på EP:n Jimi Tenor och Kennet Johnsson är en kinesisk version av låten med samma namn. Den kinesiska titeln är 唐朝和李瑞环, [...]

一封家书

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , , on September 15, 2006 | 2 Comments »

In class today we listened to a song called 一封家书 (A Letter Home) by 李春波 (Li Chunbo). It’s from 1993 and is quite well known (in China). Because I’m bored and because I think the song says something about Chinese culture, I’ll try translating the lyrics. Our teacher already did part of the job, of [...]

Chinese fonts and input in Ubuntu

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , , , on September 12, 2006 | 1 Comment »

To whom it may concern. If you install Ubuntu Dapper (for other distributions, see comments below) with another language than Chinese as the main one, getting Chinese fonts and input to work is unforunately non-trivial. Not all steps can be done via a friendly, graphical interface.
First, install the Chinese language support files. You can do [...]

Shit happens, repeatedly

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , on September 9, 2006 | 1 Comment »

The initial success with getting vegan food seems to have been beginners luck, I haven’t done so great lately. Every time that I’ve seen the actual food or a picture of it, I’ve succeeded, but every time I’ve only had a menu and a waiter to consult, I’ve failed. Twice I got stuff with egg [...]

Chinese South Park

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , on September 5, 2006 | 2 Comments »

I’ve been watching some TV and found something quite psychadelic. The show is called Bravo东东 and the influence of South Park is quite obvious:

I can’t understand what they’re saying so I don’t know if it’s funny, but it seems to be less politically incorrect than South Park anyway. When [...]
