Some more China stuff

Still about China, I found out that the richest woman in the world isn't Oprah or Madonna, but a Chinese. I guess Mao helped a few after all!

And another interesting news, all about the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has to do with the fact that some translations from Chinese into English are simply a joke, especially on some street signs as Pedro actually had a chance to see himself and picture it. Chinglish is a way of living, we could almost say, as it's so widespread on current life. Funny, to say the least. Read more here. I only noticed this weird one at the metro station.


A fact over there in China is that Wikipedia is banned and therefore reaching it seems impossible. But somehow we got a leak and could access it by having people sending us the link by chat... Strange but true!
