Earth hour hit China but not particularly hard, have a look at these photos and you will understand why

Had a very pleasant dinner last night at Osteria last night, the place was full the the brim so we had to wait for a table. Food was good but the service was hit or miss. For example we got asked if we wanted the desert menu which arrived quickly but then noone followed up and we totally forgot to order desert and ended up just gettting the bill and leaving. So I suppose its their loss, and it kept the rather tempting warm pear tart from my growing waist line. Total bill for two including a bottle of wine 630RMB.

So got up this morning and was reading Slashdot with a cup of coffee and what do I read…. China Sensoring Flickr

So as with most things related to the Chinese firewall you have to make sure it applys to you too and it does – I can get onto Flickr but cant see any images.

And I was going to update my photos this week too.

The Chinese goverment has decided to change the amount of forgin currency exchanged into RMB on a personal level from $50,000 per month to $50,000 per year!

Quite a change and this caused great questions for the business that need to be answered – general taxpayer or warehouse in Hong Kong!?!

The change to come into effect Feb 1, 2007!
