Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 7)

Thank you for continuing on this video adventure into Asia. But firstly, let’s spend a few moments to talk about the photo splash (above). It’s a screen shot from the glorious movie “Bedazzled”. It’s all about a man who meets the devil. She grants him seven wishes in exchange for his soul.

You’ve got seven wishes. Choose carefully.

"You can't sell your soul. It doesn't really belong to you in the first  place. No way, nohow. It belongs to God—that universal spirit that  animates and binds all things in existence."

-Great quote from the movie "Bedazzled".

The main character, a dweeb named Elliot, desperately wants to change his life (also being unduly influenced by a girl) inspired him to sign over his soul to the devil. In exchange she gave him seven wishes. Each wish, he uses to create a different life for himself.

We can see that right?

Elliot becomes a rich ang powerful drug lord. — What would you wish for? Elliot wanted more control over his life. He thought that money and power would provide that. So the devil gave it to him. Elliot becomes a rich and powerful drug lord.

Things aren’t going well, we want to change things. We made mistakes in our past, we wish to undo them. We missed out on opportunities or completely revamp our life into something different. You know, like Elliot does…

 Inmate: What are you in for, brother?
 Elliot: Eternity.

 Inmate: Oooh. You must've done some really bad shit.
 Elliot: The worst— I sold my soul.

 Inmate: Well, I hope you got something good for it.
 Elliot: Actually, I got nothing for it.

 Inmate: Sounds like a really bad deal, if you ask me.
 Elliot: [glances over] I'm not asking you.

 Inmate: Doesn't matter. You can't sell your soul. It doesn't really belong to you in the first place. No way, no how.
 Elliot: Is that so? Then who does it belong to?

 Inmate: [looks straight at Elliot] It belongs to God:  that universal spirit that animates and binds all things in existence.  The Devil's gonna try and confuse you, but that's her gig. In the end,  you're gonna see clear to who you are and what you're here to do. Now,  you're gonna make some mistakes along the way. Everybody does. But if  you just open up your heart, and open up your mind, you'll get it.
 Elliot: Who are you?

 Inmate: Just a friend brother. Just a really good friend.

There are great things all around us. What we need to start doing is to CONTROL OUR THOUGHTS. We must turn off all those bad influences that abound around us, and yes that most certainly means the news. What a piece of horse shit. I swear to God.

Look around you. The world is a truly beautiful place…

Just some rain

Yes, it’s just some rain. But, it’s (you know) glorious.

Do you remember coming in from the rain when you were young. You would get home and your mother would peel off your wet clothes. She would rub you dry and maybe make you a cup of hot coco with little white marshmallows. Or maybe a nice warm bowl of tomato soup with a melted cheese sandwich.

Delicious tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. As wonderful and delicious as this this, it is the people that we spend our moments with, and the great times that we share that makes our heart soar. Our emotions generate thoughts and those thoughts create our reality. Treasure those moments, for they are often fleeting.

Yes. You don’t remember the rain so much. But you do remember the times that you spent with someone who you love.

He stood before the yellow door. The printed letters over it said THE SUN DOME. He put his numb hand up to feel it. Then he twisted the doorknob and stumbled in. He stood for a moment looking about. Behind him the rain whirled at the door. Ahead of him, upon a low table, stood a silver pot of hot chocolate, steaming, and a cup, full, with a marshmallow in it. An beside that, on another tray, stood thick sandwiches of rich chicken meat and fresh-cut tomatoes and green onions. And on a rod just before his eyes was a great thick green Turkish towel, and a bin in which to throw wet clothes, and, to his right, a small cubicle in which heat rays might dry you instantly. And upon a chair, a fresh change of uniform, waiting for anyone—himself, or any lost one—to make use of it. And farther over, coffee in steaming copper urns, and a phonograph from which music was playing quietly, and books bound in red and brown leather. And near the books a cot, a soft deep cot upon which one might lie, exposed and bare, to drink in the rays of the one great bright thing which dominated the long room. 

-The Long Rain

Please do great things with your life…

Here is a blind girl hailing a DD. This is the Chinese version of Uber. He asks her where she wants to go. Then she asks how much, and he says 30 yuan. She agrees and he then helps her get in the car.

Because she is blind she cannot pay using the cellphone like most Chinese people do. So she asks how much. And then show him a wad of cash for him to take what he is owed.

Then he does something really special…

People, just be the best you can be. Be kind to animals, and people who need help. That’s the American way. Never forget that that is how REAL Americans behave.

You might notice that the bricks that comprise the sidewalk are in different shapes and colors. This is the norm in China. In China those yellow bricks are used by blind people to make their way through the large complex world that is China. It’s not that they are yellow, but rather they have a raised surface that blind people can use to get around with.

Young Love – Chinese Style

You know, the one thing that I really love about Asia is that young people go to school work hard, and then fall in love. They wait. And because of this, they tend to be very sweet when it comes to romance.

Floor Installation

Most homes in China have solid stone or wood flooring. It is extremely rare to have carpet covering particle board flooring. Here is a video of how the stone tiles are laid down. It’s interesting.

Anyways, I thought that it was very interesting. That is how it is done. Don’t you know.

You know, after a hard day of floor installation, there is nothing finer than a nice hearty meal and a tall frosty glass of ice cold beer. I am sure that the fellows in the video would appreciate it as well. Here’s a nice photo of some grilled cheese to inspire you.

Delicious and tasty grilled cheese sandwich. It would go great with some hot tomato soup and a nice tall glass of frosty icy beer. Maybe a delicious Budweiser, or PBR. I’ll tell you what.

All over the world are roads. Roads that exist and call out your name. Roads that you should travel upon. Roads that can lead you to adventure, and if you are fortunate…romance.

Rural Road in China

This is very typical. Please take note on the condition of the road. Note the amount of litter on the side of the road. Note the conditions of the building and the general care that the local government takes in maintaining public systems, roads and utilities.

Once the Chinese government established the crime and corruption police, there was a drastic and marked increase in the overall care and maintenance of public structures. It was very noticeable.

I wonder why.

Having Fun with Friends – China

OK. This is just a nice fun video. I guess that the point of this is to enjoy life. Everyone else is. So stop reading the bullshit news and being so serious. Let your hair down and start enjoying life.

I have many more videos, but I just cannot put them into a single post. It will bog down your computer terribly. So to watch the rest of the videos in this post, please continue…

Contemporaneous Chinese Music

This is a series of posts that discuss contemporaneous popular music in China. It is a wide ranging and broad spectrum of travel, and at that, all that I am able to provide is the flimsiest of overviews.

Parks in China

The parks in China are very unique. They are enormous and tend to be very mountainous. Here we take a look at this most interesting of subjects.

Really Strange China

Here are some posts that discuss a number of things about China that might seem odd, or strange to Westerners. Some of the things are everyday events, while others are just representative of the differences in culture.

What is China like?

The purpose of this post is to illustrate that the rest of the world, outside of America, has moved on with their lives. That while they might not be as great as America is, they are doing just fine thank you.

And while America has been squandering it’s money, decimating it’s resources, and just being cavalier with it’s military, the rest of the world has done the opposite. They have husbanded their day to day fortunes, and you can see this in their day-to-day lives.

Summer in Asia

Let’s take a moment to explore Asia. That includes China, but also includes such places as Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and others…

Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 6)

Let’s continue on our adventure into Asia, but first let’s chat a little bit more about the splash photo above.

Image is from the movie Kelly's Heroes. Let me tell you that that is a fine, fine movie to watch with family on a lazy August afternoon. Just get some icy cold beer and enjoy.

Here’s a quote from the movie to wet your appetite…

Here’s another quote with a pic for your entertainment. Ah. What a great movie!

OK. Now let’s continue on our exploration of Asia. First stop, China and how they build houses.

Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser.

How Houses are Built in China…

Houses in China are built quite differently than how they are built in the United States. Instead of a concrete slab with a wood-frame pole structure with particleboard floors and wall to wall carpet with drywall, the Chinese build out of cement.

The create a strong cement structure and lay down polished stone over it. Here we see a guy making a small house (LOL)…

A really small house.

And people, that’s exactly how it’s done.

Sappy Vietnam MV video

What? You think that music videos only exist in the United States? Nope. Every nation has them. Just like every nation… every single one… has their very own local bands and local music.

You should listen to some of them out of Australia, and Poland. Pretty darn awesome! I’ll tell you what.

Here’s an older video from Vietnam. I place it being made sometime during the 1990’s. You know when Bill Clinton didn’t have sex with that intern. LOL!

Nice to have in the car…

Back to China.

This is a pretty nice innovation. You inflate it by plugging it into your cigarette lighter. If you have an American car, the chances are that it won’t have a cigarette lighter plug. You can thank the progressive democrats for that “improvement”.

No problem. You can inflate it by blowing air inside the mattress. However, it might take a while. Truth. It might take you an half an hour or so using that method.

Don’t fret though. China makes tons of little micro air pumps that operate off of the USB. So you can either use your automobile USB socket or bring your laptop into the car and inflate the sofa using that plug.

You see just imagine the kinds of fun that you can have in a little subcompact with this kind of sofa mattress. You can keep the toddlers occupied. You can let the dog stretch out. You can kick back and take a nap during lunch, or maybe play with that girl you find rather fetching.

Maybe like this fine lass…

Nice Chinese girl and George Clooney doesn’t even notice…

Yeah. Big Hollywood names get their big pictures plastered all over Asia. It’s part of the Marketing strategy to saturate the commercial markets with images of the well-known and famous.

Don’t ya know.

Night Market (in the daytime) – Vietnam

Vietnam has changed quite a bit since the 1960’s. And yet in other ways it hasn’t changed at all. I mean the mountains are still there, and all the hub-bub about “climate change” the weather still is pretty much the same as what it has been for centuries. The lush banyan (forever) trees are still there. The birds still sing their songs, and the air is all pretty moist and hot.

Time change. People, cultures and society changes. However, people are still people. Boys are still boys and girls are still girls, and that progressive narrative about there being 65 different kinds of genders is nothing more than the ramblings of a crazy person that is socially incapable of fitting within society.

Pretty Girls in Vietnam from the 1960's. — Pretty girls still exist in Vietnam. Here is a dated vintage photo of a pretty Vietnam lass taken in the 1960’s. She is wearing a cute western dress, rather than the more traditional Vietnam dress and hat.

Here’s a nice vintage photo of a Vietnamese food market. Look at it. Study it. Cool huh? Notice the tin can to the far right of the photograph. Looks like the American people wanted to help the Vietnamese, and tell them so in English…

But, only one thing… They speak Vietnamese, French and Chinese in Vietnam. Not English. At least not at that time. So, what’s the purpose?

Look. Study the picture. Note the placement of the tin can. Note the quality of the photograph.

What’s in the photo? Breads. Rolls. Donated butter. Donated oil. Tins of sardines. Not typical Vietnamese fare. Oh, yes they do eat rolls, and baguettes. It’s the French influence, don’t ya know. They do use butter. But the preponderance within one photo tends to be a little deceiving.

American media for ya.

Notice the can in the Vietnamese food market. — A vintage photo of a 1960’s Vietnamese food market. Notice the tin on the far left of the picture. The words on it says that the tin was donated by the United States people. Pretty cool, except for one thing. It’s in English. In Vietnam at that time they spoke and read only three languages. They were Vietnamese, Chinese and French. It seems that all that English writing is for propaganda purposes. Propaganda, not for the Vietnamese people, but rather for the Americans who would look at the photo from the American mainstream media.

Oh, but don’t be confused.

They eat fine delicious food in Vietnam. And many of it is though a strong French influence. There is a restaurant in Taiwan that makes fantastic Vietnam food, I’ll tell you what.

Delicious Vietnam food in Taiwan. — From the article; My first bite into Nuong’s bánh mì thịt evoked in me a sensation that could only be described as “same same, but different” in comparison with bánh mì in Vietnam. It was delicious, especially the perfect firmness of the Vietnamese ham. In a way, the sandwich was very similar to a typical bánh mì in Saigon, yet quite different. For starters, the pickles had a different tanginess to them, owing to the use of non-Vietnamese vinegar, which is similar to the condiment you might add to your hủ tiếu somewhere in District 5. The unorthodox addition of authentic Vietnamese-style char siu made the combination pleasantly sweet and chewier. But the starkest differences were in its main components. Source.

Here’s a modern micro-video of contemporaneous rural Vietnam and the food market there. Now wouldn’t you all want to have one of these Po’ Boy / Grinder / Submarine what’s ya call it’s… fresh from the market counter here?

Oh, and speaking about the fine Vietnamese food experience, here is another photo…

Delicious Vietnam food with a French influence. — From the article; “Taiwanese flour is so different. It’s sweeter and chewier,” she explains. Her “baguettes” are coated with vegetable oil almost immediately after baking — the secret to their crunchiness after being toasted a second time. Different varieties of bánh mì are made to order when customers appear. Lò Bánh Mì Pasteur’s homemade pâté is several shades darker than those in Vietnam. “The Taiwanese like eating jiànkāng [healthy], [so] we don’t use preservatives. That’s what makes the commercial pâté so pinkish,” she adds. Source.

Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 5)

Thank you all for keeping with me and following this video narrative and (sort of) political editorial through humor, adventure and audio visual exploration. But first, let’s explore the picture splash at the top of this page.

About the picture splash above; this is a screen capture of a scene from the movie Roxanne.  The large-nosed fireman C.D. Bales is in love with the beautiful Roxanne. Ah, but alas, she falls for his personality but another man's looks.

This is an old movie that I used to have on Betamax.

I thought it was cute, but not really memorable. However, when rewatching the move, I swear, it took me back to a far simpler time in America. A time of smaller communities, and far less problems. For that trip down nostalgia lane… it is worth the watch.

Sometimes movies and pictures can take us back to a simpler and better time. One that is free of many of the worries and concerns that have been foistered upon us within our reality. — Sometimes movies and pictures can take us back to a simpler and better time. One that is free of many of the worries and concerns that have been fostered upon us within our reality. Like this photo for instance. The family goes out to watch a football game in cool fall air. The housewife prepares some warm coffee and sandwiches for the boys. Simpler times and simpler solutions. Movies and pictures can take us back to those times.

Ok. Now for the micro-videos and dialog…

Welcome to Beijing

Everyone knows about Beijing, in fact, many Americans when asked what cities are in China, they will only be able to name but one or two. Beijing being the first. With Shanghai a distant second.

Here’s Beijing. And yes, outside of the dust-storm season, many days do actually look a little like this… blue skies. I can see those readers just shaking their heads. They tell me, that it is ALWAYS full of terrible air pollution. You can see, they argue, all you need to do is perform a Google image search for Beijing.

Yup. That’s right. Go straight to the largest propaganda outlet in the United States to get your answers – Google.

But, really… Why stop there, how about Snopes?

Here’s a pollution profile that I just screen grabbed for Beijing as I write this.

Beijing Air pollution index. Taken 2AUG19.

And here is one for Los Angles. Again, it’s just a screen grab that I took just a few seconds ago…

Hum. It seems that the Air Pollution index for Beijing and Los Angles, at least on 2AUG19, were the same. Imagine that!

Who’d figure, given the near relentless breathless reporting on how bad pollution is in China, these days.

Nonsense.

This is what Beijing looks like, ya all…

American, and British, media will take pictures of the smoggiest days in Beijing. If they can’t get the weather to cooperate, then they will use a very smoggy photo out of their photo files.

Beijing does have smog, and the weather can be nasty at times. Much of it is a combination of particulate matters from the deserts (which create intense Sahara-style dust storms) and Winter related smoke from coal-fired furnaces in the cold-cold weather.

However, it is not ALWAYS like that.

Just like not every American gets FREE healthcare. FREE medicine. FREE homes, FREE cell phones, FREE cars. Nope. America was not called the “land of the free”, because of all the FREE stuff you would get.

It was called that for other reasons.

Reasons that no longer exist.

Check out some of the cities in the rest of China, why don’t ya. If you would believe those trolls on the Internet forums, China is one filthy dirty, smoggy place. With only America being the most beautiful spot int he world.

Take note…

Comparatively, with say Los Angles, the smog is Beijing is far easier to deal with. Masks are very sufficient to remove the gritty particles out of the air. You can use a HEPA air purifier to keep your office and home nice. However, no such luck on LA. That is a different kind of smog. It’s particulate level micro-beads of acid. It attacks the eyes, the nostrils and the mouth.

I have found that most American news is nonsense. It is designed to manipulate you. It is designed to keep you living in some kind of a box. Part of which is controlled by fear, and constant reassurances that you have it better than everyone else as long as you stay in your box.

American Propiganda. — **American Propaganda**; “Since the beginning of this year, the levels of air pollution in Beijing have been dangerously high, with thick clouds of smog chasing people indoors, disrupting air travel, and affecting the health of millions. The past two weeks have been especially bad — at one point the pollution level measured 40 times recommended safety levels. Authorities are taking short-term measures to combat the current crisis, shutting down some factories and limiting government auto usage. However, long-term solutions seem distant, as China’s use of coal continues to rise, and the government remains slow to acknowledge and address the problems. “

From The Atlantic.

What you all need to do is make comparisons ON YOUR OWN. Don’t listen to the news, and even don’t listen to me. Just you go to Beijing, yourself, and if you think it has terrible pollution, then believe it. Otherwise, don’t.

Automobile Problems – Thailand

Let’s go to Thailand.

Beautiful Thailand. — America isn’t the only place that has beauty. It exists all over the world. It really does. Just like Detroit is not a typical American city that represents what America looks like, nor does the images of other nations as portrayed in American media. Here is a beautiful Thailand beach.

I really like Thailand, but many of the rural roads are not paved, and just simple dirt. Not even gravel. that can cause problems for vehicles during the rainy season. As this poor fella has discovered much to his dismay.

Primitive, yes. But, bad… not so.

While we are in Thailand, let’s head out a little further East and go to rural Vietnam…

But let’s realize that just because the American mainstream media hasn’t been reporting on Vietnam for fifty years, the country still exists. It grows, people live and die. Things progress forward and change. It is not frozen in time, like many Americans seem to think that it is…

Siagon in the 1960's. — Saigon in the 1960’s. Vietnam has changed substantially over the years, and many Americans would not recognize it if their only experiences outside of America is through the American mainstream media.

Of course, Vietnam today is not anything like Americans remember it from the media narrative in the 1960’s. We need to look at the world with new eyes. Eyes that are not colored or flavored by the American mainstream press narrative.

Chicken Noodle Soup – Vietnam

This is modern, contemporaneous Vietnam. Here we have a rural village. (And I do like the rural areas of South-East Asia.)

With that, I would like to post some historical pictures of Vietnam during the 1960’s when America first decided to have a war there. And, while I am at it, let me remind everyone that while many Americans were quite patriotic, they could not understand why thousands of Americans would need to die in a far off land. They argued that the ONLY people who would benefit from such a war was the rich oligarchy.

Historically, we now know that they were ABSOLUTELY correct.

Does this picture strike a bell?

Americans refusing to fight in Vietnam. Looking back, the ONLY people who benefited from the war in Vietnam were the wealthy that had stocks and power within the military-industrial environment. This was something that the Johnson Presidency cultivated, and now today has grown into such an unwieldy monster. You do realize that today 2AUG19, America is currently fighting eight (x8) military shooting wars all over the world. Let me ask you, how are YOU personally benefiting?

This is the Vietnam that Americans had to fight (and protect) for (you know) mah democracy…

Life in Vietnam in the 1960's when America first started to get involved there. — Life in Vietnam in the 1960’s when America first started to get involved there. This is obviously outside a cafe or a restaurant.

I am of the opinion that the wealthy oligarchy in the United States couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the people in Vietnam, or the brave Americans that fought, became crippled or died over there.

All they cared about was their own personal profits. You know, like how the American software giants in Google, Facebook, and Twitter care about YOU today.

They do not.

They don’t give a rat’s ass about you, and think nothing about squashing you, your opinions, your thoughts and your life. They have absolute disdain for you, your culture and your family, and would squash your life out like they would step on a cockroach. they despise you.

Look at what the American rich did in Vietnam…

Killed so some wealthy Americans could make money. — Pretty couple riding their moped in Vietnam. This was in the 1960’s when America was first getting involved in the Vietnam conflict. Apparently the wealthy felt that the deaths of a couple thousand Americans, and many thousands of Vietnam citizens were of no consequence if they could be able to by another mansion.

Well, we did send troops to Vietnam.

Boeing 727 under guard. — Political and business VIP’s would visit Vietnam from time to time to see how things were progressing. They would always return back to America and demand more and more money…. you know, for the cause. Though it was just a way for them to cycle the money into their own pockets. Evil fucking bastards. Here we have one of their aircraft being watched by military personnel.

Many of whom died. Those that came back didn’t like what America had become. So they “dropped out”. They started to take drugs and get involved in non-social activities.

See what happens when the corrupt are permitted to rule over a nation. Everything becomes distorted and corrupted. Nations with long histories, such as China, know that crime and corruption can alter the face of a people in terrible, twisted and bad ways. So they try to do things to change all this.

Here’s some photos of the Vietnam military forces today. Yes they do want to trade with the United States. It’s a new generation, in a new nation. Let’s hope that everyone realizes just how important and precious life is, and the need to ONLY FIGHT to defend your family and way of life.

Exploring a Park in China

Ah. Sorry for being so serious.

It’s just that I really hate injustices, and I get really angry when people use their wealth to hurt others. And, I do not care what it is. Hurt is hurt. Whether it is erasing all of someone’s posts on social media, or bribing a politician to send another 30,000 solders to fight a war where many will get killed.

Wealth corrupts.

Here is China. There are many parks in China and many are very lovely.

I am of the very strong belief that a wide selection of different experiences, shared with others, causes us to think different. Since thoughts create our reality, that is how we grow.

We grow physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually though our thoughts.

Which is sort of why this post-sequence is all about shutting off the American media propaganda, getting out of the fear-cage that many Americans sit within and go forth and explore. You will discover, as I have, that many of us are quite similar, but it is our differences that should be enjoyed and savored.

As I am sure that this American serviceman discovered when dating his pretty Vietnam girlfriend…

Vietnam in the 1960s. — A United States soldier in Vietnam with his pretty Vietnamese girlfriend. It is the similarities that attract us to each other, and the differences that enable us to grow.

Water Festival – Thailand

Let’s take a look at the water festival in Thailand.

The Water Festival is the New Year's celebrations that take place in Southeast Asian nations such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand as well as among the Dai people of China. 

It is called the 'Water Festival' by Westerners because they notice people splashing or pouring water at one another as part of the cleansing ritual to welcome the New Year. 

Traditionally people gently sprinkled water on one another as a sign of respect, but as the new year falls during the hottest month in South East Asia, many people end up dousing strangers and passersby in vehicles in boisterous celebration. The act of pouring water is also a show of blessings and good wishes. It is believed that on this Water Festival, everything old must be thrown away, or it will bring the owner bad luck. 

-Wikipedia

Ah, some links if you are at all interested…

Small Community on the coast -China

Let’s take a look at some of the non-big city coastal areas in China. As you must know, there are thousands of these communities. All much, much larger than many American cities.

They all sort of resemble Miami or Fort Lauderdale beaches, more or less. As like this…

Summer in Asia

Let’s take a moment to explore Asia. That includes China, but also includes such places as Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and others…

Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 4)

Thank you for continuing on my micro-video narrative. But first, let’s chat a little bit about the splash screen photo above.

About the splash-screen photo above. It's a screen shot of the movie "Kelly's Heroes". It's a World War II movie made in the 1960's that is loosely based upon the actual events during the war. 

You see, as Germany was collapsing, a bunch of Americans wanted to go ahead and seize all the gold that Hitler had squirreled away. It's a great movie, and the pop song "Burning Bridges" came from that movie.

You only have to mention the film ‘Kelly’s Heroes’ and within seconds everyone is firing off quotes from the film – our non WWII friends really do look at you as if you are some type of weird sandwich…

Kelly's Hero screen shot. — Hey! Don’t you go giving me off any of those bad waves.

Has to be one of the best war films of all time. So here is a challenge – how many of these quotes can you remember? And how many can you get into a conversation today…

Let’s start with…

Anyways, go ahead and chat with your friends. See how many remember the movie Kelly’s Heroes. It’s a great conversation starter. Sure better than talking about the new female 007 who is going to rock the movie world this year.

Not!

Just look at this pathetic picture. I look and I see that the producers are seriously Jonesing for a Michelle Obama (or Oprah Winfrey) leadership role to pave the way for a 2024 Presidential Election candidate. (Wanna bet this isn’t the case?)

Black Female British Actor Lashana Lynch to Play New '007 Agent' — Black Female British Actor Lashana Lynch to Play New ‘007 Agent’. Hint. She’s a diversity hire. (wink wink). Can’t wait to watch the latest James Bond flick… not!

Yeah. Just like they made so many Hollywood movies with female Presidents that looked markedly like Hillary Clinton during the last ten years. It’s ground work to prep the American population subconsciously.

Now…

I argue that the significance of this role placement is associated with the r/K survival strategy which pretty much establishes a Marxist social dominance within America under the r survival strategy. It’s all pretty obvious to those of us who are paying attention.

If you haven’t a clue as to what I am talking about, then check out this link…

So, when you have a society (like the “great society”) giving away all sorts of free-things (you know, to “eliminate” poverty), you end up with a society of abundance. People can live off the dole. They don’t have to work. They don’t have to compete. They don’t have to survive. They turn in to r-strategists.

Now, back to Asia…

Puddle Jumper

One of the things that I really like about the world (not just Asia) is flying in “puddle jumpers” into the smaller more rural airports and visiting the countryside. Here is a small micro-video about flying into the Tachiletk airport near Thailand.

That’s what adventure is all about.

Here is a photo that kind of tells you where Tachileik is located. It is in Myanmar near Northern Thailand. (It is near Myanmar and near Maesai, Thailand.) It is a religious place with temples and mosques, as well as monasteries and pagodas.

Oh, yeah. Speaking about travel, let’s inject another great quote from the great movie Kelly’s Heroes. I mean, why not?

Here's some quotes from the great movie "Kelly's Heroes".

I mean. So many positive waves. Maybe we can’t lose!

That’s one of the advantages of travel. So many positive waves.

Return of the Monkey King

Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is a melee agility hero,  best known for his slippery nature and his ability to do Mischief,  deceiving his enemies by turning into trees and other objects. Armed  with his magic extending staff, the Monkey King slams the ground with Boundless Strikes, and leaps to the treetops to have advantage over his foes with Tree Dance.

-Wikipedia

Now, the Monkey King is a big thing in China. Everyone knows about the Monkey King and admires it. But for me, as an American, I don’t see the big deal. I think that it is a cultural thing. Like about how Jarts, and click-clacks were popular in the 1970s’.

You remember those eh?

“At Least He Didn’t Have Access To Jarts” Say Authorities Of Florida School Shooter. No kidding. That’s what the detectives said.

 Trying to extract some positive from the horror in Florida, local  authorities reflected today on how much more carnage the school shooter  could have caused were it not for sensible regulations.

 “At least he didn’t have access to Jarts because they are thankfully banned in this country.”

 The outlawed lawn toys feature sharp metal tips designed to stick  into the ground when the Jart is lobbed underhand causing it to fall in a  large parabolic arc. 

 “This could have been so much worse.”
 
When  asked what could be done to prevent tragedies like this happening  again, they say they are staying focused on making sure this is as bad  as it gets.

 “Our number one priority right now is to ensure the Jart ban  isn’t repealed, and, beyond that, we are taking a serious look at banana  peels.”

-Breaking Bourgh

Ah, cultures can be so interesting.

Anyways, back to the Monkey King…

Check out this short micro-video about the Monkey King…

OK, now after connecting Jarts to the Monkey King, and Kelly’s Heroes with those positive waves in Northern Thailand, let’s talk about kitties…

Ah. But first, look at what I discovered…

Cheetos are being changed so that they will not resemble President Trump.

Now for the kitties after looking at bright lime green Cheetos…

Butting Heads with the Kitty Store Owner

I do think that many cat lovers might appreciate this micro-video…

This is in China, and no, it’s really quite rare for the Chinese to eat pets like dogs and cats. That’s one of the lies propagated by the American mainstream media. They want to keep you all huddled, isolated and afraid of others.

They want you to sit inside your house, work as a serf, pay your taxes and obey your “betters”.

The River Runs Through it…

Speaking about China. Here’s a nice video of a small rural town in the hills. I guess that you could say this is a little like San Louis Obispo in California. Only the Chinese are far more religious than those progressives in California. Look at the hill. There you can see lighted Buddhist statuary.

I like this video.

This video reminds me of how nice small towns can look like when the politicians are being policed by the “corruption police” and are unable to “game the system”, “funnel money” away from projects, and generally abuse their positions. You know, like they do in the United States.

Hey! You do know what I am talking about don’t you?

Yeah. Crime and corruption was pretty bad in China up until 2013, when roving militarized “corruption police” started their crack-downs on corruption. Anyone who says that China is full of corruption today is a fucking idiot. (Or barring that, just horribly misinformed.)

It is nothing like it was.

China is VERY SERIOUS about corruption and crime. They know that the nation cannot survive unless they are able to take control over the high-level corruption that has made China famous two decades ago. So they declared war on corruption. But no, this wasn’t like they do in the USA, where enormous sums of money are dished out to “influencers” and “blue panels of experts”.

Nope.

Targets are identified, systems are put in place. Evil people are rounded up. Many are tortured and incarcerated. Some are killed.

Today, most Chinese are petrified of tangling with the Corruption Police. Arrest means their lives are effectively over, both literally and figuratively.

China takes corruption very seriously. — (150509) — BEIJING, May 9, 2015 (Xinhua) — Chinese police escort Li Huabo (C), the second suspect from China’s “100 most wanted economic fugitives” list, upon his arrival at the Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, capital of China, May 9, 2015. Li was repatriated Saturday as part of operation “Sky Net”. The Sky Net campaign aims to return fugitives for trial. (Xinhua/Chen Yehua)(mcg)

Corruption Police arrest corrupt civil servant. — In January 2013, Hebei Xinhe County Police notified Guangxi Dongxing Municipal Police that between 2008 to 2011, the former Director of Baoding City Mancheng County Bureau of Land and Resource in Hebei Song Jianzhong used his power to illegally profit and collect 1.5 million RMB in bribes, and when faced investigated by the relevant departments fled to Vietnam with his mistress. Photo is of about 6pm February 5th, Mong Cai Municipal Police in Vietnam handing the suspects over to Guangxi Dongxing Municipal law enforcement officials. Picture by Zhuo Huang/CFP.

Corrupt offical arrested. — After over 20 days of investigation, in the afternoon of February 5th, Song and his mistress, Ren, appeared in Mong Cai, Vietnam. Mong Cai Police successfully arrested the two. In January 2013, Hebei Xinhe County Police notified Guangxi Dongxing Municipal Police that between 2008 to 2011, the former Director of Baoding City Mancheng County Bureau of Land and Resource in Hebei Song Jianzhong used his power to illegally profit and collect 1.5 million RMB in bribes, and when faced investigated by the relevant departments fled to Vietnam with his mistress. Photo is of about 6pm February 5th, Mong Cai Municipal Police in Vietnam handing the suspects over to Guangxi Dongxing Municipal law enforcement officials.

Corruption Police is exactly what America needs today.

Make no mistake. It’s Long…long… LONG overdue.

Anyways, back to the video, pay attention to how clean the streets are. Notice how nice the houses are. Corruption turns nice communities into Detroit, or Baltimore. Look, and pay attention.

When there is corruption, the buildings fall into disrepair. The streets fall apart and have potholes, and the general standard of life is very poor. You can ALWAYS judge the level of corruption in a non-industrial community by how clean and well taken cared for it is.

If things are not so well taken cared for, and there are funds earmarked for maintenance, then you know that the levels of corruption are rather enormous.

Savage in a Parking Garage

On a lighter note. Let’s go Savage in one of those hyper-clean underground parking garages in China. It’s a thing, and I quite like it; those super clean parking garages. In the USA, it’s all damp, bare cement with dimly lit lighting. Yuck.

It’s so refreshing to be in a place where public places are treated as worthy of respect.

Back in the day, Americans used to take pride in their public spaces. Trees were planted in parks to provide shade. Benches were placed, and painted every year. Picnic tables were set up and yearly repaired and maintained. Roads and bridges had yearly inspection teams, fully funded, and taken cared for.

America of the past. — There was once a time when being an American was something special. It was not spit upon by members of Congress. The moneys to repair public works were on the local, not Federal level, and everyone was part of a community that participated. Not isolated, and living in fear facing an electronic box.

That all ended during the progressive onslaught around 1913 or so. Then it became something different. It went from “America for all of us”, to “What’s mine is mine, and I’ll give you a little bit if you obey me.”.

Now, back to China garages…

Ah it’s so refreshing.

Sure beats what you see in America everyday. Here is a typical photo of an American woman. It doesn’t matter where you go in the Untied States, or what city you visit, you will always be able to easily find American women that look like this…

American beautiful woman. — American woman shopping in Walmart. I wonder where she works? What do you think she does for a living? Do you have any idea how well she performed in school, and what she must be like as a person? People! We owe it to ourselves to reverse the obvious progressive decline of the American society.

Jackie Ma

China is a land of merit. You either do your best or fail and suffer the consequences. Much like America used to be when it was first founded. As such, I want to put a plug in for Jackie Ma. For he represents what China is today.

Sort of how Hillary Clinton represents what America is today.

I have many more videos, but I just cannot put them into a single post. It will bog down your computer terribly. So to watch the rest of the videos in this post, please continue…

China and America Comparisons

As an American, I cannot help but compare what my life was in the United States with what it is like living in China. Here we discuss that.

The Chinese Business KTV Experience

This is the real deal. Forget about all that nonsense that you find in the British tabloids and an occasional write up in the American liberal press. This is the reality. Read or not.

Parks in China

The parks in China are very unique. They are enormous and tend to be very mountainous. Here we take a look at this most interesting of subjects.
