Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 11)

But first, let’s have something to say about the photo splash above. It’s a screen shot from the brilliant movie “Bedazzled”.

In the movie "Bedazzled", Hopeless dweeb Elliot Richards is granted seven wishes by the Devil to  snare Allison, the girl of his dreams, in exchange for his soul. It goes something like this;  Elliot Richards, a socially incompetent technical advisor working at a  call-center, has had a crush on Alison Gardner for nearly four years.  One evening, which already started particularly bad for Elliot, she  ditches him. Elliot wishes for her to be in his life with all his heart -  and is heard. 

I like this movie a lot. It’s a cute story about our life and how we can control it and to ignore all those others that say otherwise.

The devil seduces Elliot.
The devil seduces Elliot. Scene from the movie Bedazzled. This movie is a fun fictional romp that enables us to look at our life, our choices and preferences in a new light and understanding.

What if you could have anything you wanted? You just wish for it and it materializes. What then? What would you wish for? This movie, “Bedazzled” explores that theme and others. In the process we get to look at our life and the choices that we make.

For no, what we want is not external to our desires. Nope, it comes from inside.

What would do become, if you could change your life? Maybe your would become rich and famous, attractive, powerful? Maybe you would become a star, a famous person that everyone would literally everyone would look up to…

Elliot wishes to become a famous basketball star.
In the movie “Bedazzled”, Elliot wishes to become a famous basketball star. And so he becomes one. He’s a giant that can do no wrong. Everything about him is bigger than life. Everything, ah… everything except one small, tiny, tinsey little thing…

So what would you do, if you had the means to achieve it? Maybe become a DJ and produce your own music.

Well, that is now indeed possible, and now easier than ever.

Today, with a bag of electronics and some basic training anyone can become a DJ and mix your very own mix-tapes. Nope, this is not your 1990’s type of mixing, this is all on an entirely new level. Absolutely. Check it out.

Shaped like a fish

But first some news from Yahoo!…

You know, I have severely curtailed my reading of what passes for news in America these days. Every time I read it, it just gets more and more off the wall. I really don’t like the articles, the tone and the nonsense that is being spewed forward.

Take this screen capture from 6AUG18 from Yahoo News…

A screen capture from 6AUG18 from Yahoo News.
A screen capture from 6AUG18 from Yahoo News.

Now, let’s summarize the six articles listed at the very top of the page, shall we…

  • Putin is threatening the USA with nuclear weapons. Really?
  • You (the reader) are the same kind of animal that killed someone.
  • The world still admires the Obamas. (Maybe on Mars…)
  • Some fellow apologizing to someone for something…
  • Bicycles are dangerous and can kill 22-year olds.
  • At times like this, I wish Obama was still the President.

Sigh. They are all bat-shit crazy.

Maybe it will be different on a different mainstream news platform. Let’s look at MSN via Bing News…

Anti-gun-push
Here is the first page news from MSN on 6AUG19. They are heavily involved in the progressive disarming of the citizenry.

Enough of that nonsense. I tire about the big push to disarm the citizens to make them “safe”, and I most certainly tire of being told that “ugly” is “beauty”. Let’s go back to Asia. In Asia, the ideal female shape is one that looks something like a fish.

As this video portrays…

Beautiful Chinese model on a boat.

Meanwhile the ideal woman shape is considered to be along the lines of Michelle Obama in the United States. Are they fucking kidding me?

Michelle Obama is considered the most beautiful woman in America.
Michelle Obama is considered the most beautiful woman in America. I disagree with the “experts”. I think beauty is a combination of factors that include personality, kindness, physical appearance and behaviors. In my mind, while I am sure that Michelle is a nice woman, to consider her one of the most beautiful women in America is not really accurate. I argue that it is mere political posturing, and is completely functionally meaningless.

Going to School – The Philippines

Uh. Yes, of course, they have schools in the Philippines. Don’t be silly.

Schooling in the  Philippines suffers from underfunding and a lack of resources. Education  at local Filipino schools is not likely to be of the standard most  expats are used to. Expats living in the Philippines opt to send their  children to international schools.
   
Education system in the Philippines

The education system in the Philippines has largely been shaped by  its colonial history, particularly by the Spanish and American cultures.  Today, the system is largely modelled on the US education system.

Education in the Philippines fares poorly compared with other countries  in the region. While primary education is compulsory until the 6th  grade, drop-out rates are high after this level.
  
Filipino and English are the main languages of instruction at all  public and private schools in the Philippines. From grades 1 to 3,  students are taught in the dominant language of their particular region.  Class are held in either English or Filipino from then on. 
  
The school year for both public and private schools in the  Philippines normally runs from June to March or April. A typical school  week is Monday to Friday, from 7:30am to 4pm or 5pm. Students usually  have an hour lunch break; as school cafeterias are rare, many students  either go home for lunch or bring their own lunch to school.

HK Protests

The news media in July 2019 was all in awe of the “wonderful” HK protestors who wanted to bring “democracy” to Hong Kong. They breathlessly wrote and reported on all the “pro-democracy” protesters in Hong Kong.

Yeah, but you know, it’s no such thing.

One Chinese country but with two systems.
HK operates as part of China, but has it’s own independence permitting it to have it’s own laws, and systems that are often quite different from what is found in the mainland.

They did not want “democracy“.

They were unhappy with the declining economy of Hong Kong, most especially after Donald Trump put the enormous tariffs on HK sourced products. (Yeah, bet ya didn’t realize that the vast bulk of Chinese sourced items dispatch from Hong Kong, now did you?)

Comparision of operations between China and HK.
Topic. Hong Kong. China. Hourly wage. HK 30. RMB Exchange rate. HK 7.8 = US 1. RMB (Renminbi) 5.7 = US 1. Working hours. 8 hours/day, 6 days/week. 9 hours/day, 6.5 days/week. Total = 48 hours/week. Total = 58.5 hours/week. Maximum overtime allowed = 200 hours/years. During peak production periods, workers work 13 hours/day, 6.5 days/week. Weekly (non-peak output/worker) 19 parkas. 12 parkas.

Being unhappy, they revolted.

They wanted Social Justice, with gay weddings, trans-gender bathrooms, free jobs, a “living wage” and other progressive demands. Not quite the things that you would hear about on the American mainstream media.

They wanted what all Social Justice Warriors want…

64 genders. Free sex on demand. Free healthcare. Free education. Free medicine. Unlimited Welfare.

You know, like America has.

CIA graphics on the various levels of autonomy within the Chinese sphere.
CIA graphics on the various levels of autonomy within the Chinese sphere. China has allowed many regions to operate under their own laws and rules and regulations, that are often quite different and stand apart from the way things are done in Beijing. This differs substantially from the USA model where everything is under the Thumb of Washington D.C.

Much of what you see on CNN and other American news media has no bearing on what actually transpires in China.

Like, for instance, this video clip of the “brave” Social Justice Warriors demanding “democracy” in Hong Kong…

Ai! Picking on old people is inexcusable. But there you have it. This is the face of SJW all over the world. This is the face in Hong Kong…

HK SJW’s attacking an old man.

Of all the “pro-democracy” protest videos on CNN, and You-Tube. This one is banned. I wonder why?

And, this is the very same face in the United States…

American SJW Antifa meme
American SJW Antifa meme. Attacking the old, the poor, the weak and children. It’s the socialist way.

It’s a true shame that the American mainstream media isn’t reporting on this situation properly and leading many people, especially conservatives that should know better, to think that the SJW protests in HK are all about “freedom”, “democracy”, and “breakaway from China”.

Ah, but don’t youse guys worry.

China does not take kindly to SJW types. Organ harvesting that you read about is one thing, but having both of your eyes removed is something else all together. China is far too populous, with far too many issues, not to take the SJW issue seriously. They do.

This is why…

When the SJW movement took control of China
Oh, BTW, here's a fun fact, did you know that the ADC (The Arkansas Department of Corrections) went to China in the late 1990's to teach them how to manage Hard Labor Camps. Yuppur.

They run them in China just like the ADC does.

Link

But, then again, maybe you don’t want to hear what I have to say. Maybe you would feel more comfortable hearing it from someone who lives right there inside HK and has lived there all their life. Listen to them instead, why don’t ya.

Well then… let’s watch some videos that say things that you won’t ever hear in the American mainstream media…


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…

Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 10)

Here we continue on our video exploration of Asia. But first, before we begin, let’s take a look at the picture splash at the top of the page. It is from the movie called “The Patriot”. It’s a great movie, and a large degree of effort went into making it as accurate as possible.

The jumble of events in The Patriot, for example, were created by making Gibson’s character a composite of no less than 4 real people! So many of the events of the film were very loosely inspired by true facts, but then changed and altered to fit the needs of the dramatic story the screenwriter was looking to tell. 

-Quora
Screen shot from the movie The Patriot.
Screen shot from the movie The Patriot. There are those that claim that this fictional movie is not accurate enough for their tastes. Well of course not! It’s a fiction for Pete’s sake. Then as all progressive liberals, they point out one inaccuracy and then claim the entire film is inaccurate. It’s the black and white, the all or nothing. The need to ban peanut butter because less than 0.0005% of children have an allergy. All or nothing. It’s the Marxist way, don’t you know.

Accuracy. Though you would never realize that if you used the internet to research the making of the movie. The “accuracy” of the movie is then put into question because it is a fictional work, when people are actually asking questions about such period events as…

  • Tying the boyfriend into a sack when he slept overnight.
  • Young boys being able to shoot guns.
  • The role of the Loyalists in the colonies.
  • The role of the German mercenaries during the war.
The accuracy of the movie The Patriot.
If you read the internet you will discover that this fictional movie is not accurate. The main characters, aside from one or two historical figures never existed. You will discover that all the more conservative elements were all nonsense, and that the American colonies lived in peace and the Revolutionary War was a mistake made by tax dodgers and swindlers. Well, that is the impression you will get if you used the internet to get your information from. It is thus no question why so many millennial youth hate the United States.

However, you would never get that impression by reading all the anti-accuracy posts on Google and Bing. In fact, you can plot the opinions on the accuracy of the film on two axes. One by political leaning / ideology, and two degree of accuracy. When you do so you get a chart that sort of looks like this…

Plot of opinionated accuracy relative to the movie "The Patriot" by political ideology of the writer of the article.
Plot of opinionated accuracy relative to the movie “The Patriot” by political ideology of the writer of the article.

Of course, to see the “Right Wing” opinions, you need to go to pages 50+ in both Google and Bing. The highest rated opinions are found on liberal platforms, of which are moved to the very front of the search results.

Curious. Don’t believe me. Read for yourself.

Now back to Asia…

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.

Two year old Crawls onto porch

This is another sad video.

This happened in my city of Zhuhai in July 2019. The mother checked on the baby, and he was asleep. So she went next door to buy some vegetables. Apparently the two-year old got up and thought it was a good idea to crawl onto the porch on the 6th floor in the high rise.

He reached up and climbed over and above the glass balustrade rail, then got on the outside and slipped…

People watched in horror and filmed it in real time as people rushed up to the apartment and tried to break in to rescue the baby. But they were too late.

Now a happy ending…

As shocking as that is, it is not uncommon.

Many parents absolutely MUST put fencing on their balconies or run the risk of a child getting into trouble. Here we see what happens when a child tries to crawl through the protective bars…

A happy ending.

Donald Trump visits NK

It’s hard to imagine that the news media in the USA would make a bigger deal than what came out of China. China was ecstatic when Donald Trump was in Korea. Though the American mainstream media picked it apart and made fun of it.

They thought it was dangerous, risky and unpresidential.

The American conservative press thought of it as a good thing, however…

American conservative reaction to Trump visiting North Korea.
American conservative reaction to Trump visiting North Korea. In general, it was viewed very positively.

Of course, that is in the balkanized United States.

In China, when Donald Trump visited North Korea, he was loudly promoted as a man who was going to bring calm reason and stability to Asia.

Indeed, it’s a mjor big change from the jokes and laughable behavior of the Obama’s and Clinton’s.

Archery in China

Yeah, this is how it’s done Chinese style. I also like the eight-point buck on the wall in the background.

Oh, and by the way, in many parts of China you don’t need a permit to hunt. You just go forth and hunt to your heart’s content. However, if you do abuse that privilege, like trying to round up 300 does (female deer) and instigate some kind of mass slaughter, the police will find a reason to arrest you.

And, getting arrested will be the least of your problems…

American Awesomeness in China

The Air Force bomber B2 is an amazing piece of equipment. For decades it was kept secret and hidden from the public. Even when it was announced publicly, all photos of it, and it’s operation were kept secret and hidden.

That was the case up until Obama became President, and he immediately removed the shroud and cloak of secrecy around many of America’s weapon systems. One of which was the B2 bomber.

Now, today, the Chinese people are well acquainted with this amazing plane as all sorts of videos can attest to.

Snail Races

Yup. It’s a thing. Who’d figure?

I don’t where this is. I do not think it is in China, but the video does come from Asia. Looks like English or Russians enjoying the race.

Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 9)

Now about the image in the post splash above. This is a scene from the most excellent movie “Unbreakable”. I really love this movie because it is about a man who needs to find his purpose in life. It turns out that he must be the super hero.

 Elijah Price: Why is it, do you think, that of all the professions in the world you chose protection?
 
 David Dunn: You are a very strange man. 

 Elijah Price: You could have been a tax accountant. You could have owned your own gym.  You could have opened a chain of restaurants. You could've done of ten  thousand things, but in the end, you chose to protect people. *You* made  that decision, and I find that very, very interesting.      
Unbreakable movie
With regards to the story, Mr. Shyamalan and his crew have constructed something so rich in visual texture while managing to keep the story subdued and character development full of deep-seated anticipation. Every plot point came perfectly without any extra connotations that usually creep into a story such as this (super heroes?). Without any melodrama both Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson give very authentic performances that help the film keep its “Any Town USA” and “Average Joe Six-pack” feel very much alive.

This is a brilliant movie, and it asks many of the very same questions that many men ask themselves when they hit their middle to late 30’s. You can call it the “male menopause” or something else, but what it is rather a reflection of life’s purpose.

 Joseph Dunn: I thought maybe because you're my dad... I thought I might be like you... I'm not like you... 

 David Dunn: You are like me. We can both get hurt. I'm just an ordinary man. 

 Joseph Dunn: No, you're not... Why do you keep saying that?      

No man is ordinary.

Moving on…

Hey! Look what I found in my e-mail today!

Ah. It’s not going away. I received this e-mail on 5AUG19.

Yup! It’s a social justice warrior that is so proud of her censorship efforts. She censors art. She makes the determination of what is good or bad art by way of political ideology. Imagine that.

Read her email to me…

SJW censorship

I am so very sure that Idi Amin, Heir Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao would be so proud of her censorship. But then again, this “virtue signalling” isn’t likely to do much aside from landing her a job in a liberal institution where, of course, she would have to endure the casting couch job interview. It’s the Marxist technique. (Just being historical, ya all.)

Of course, I am revolted by this.

Typical Marxist behavior.
Nazi book and art burning. They believed that you needed to purify thought and only have ideologically pure art and literature. Just like all Marxists.

So she judges art.

yes.

She JUDGES art.

Not good enough
It’s difficult to be an artist in the new progressive reality where the Marxist’s all control the levels of power, and the gateways for success. This is a work by conservative Dan F. Gerhartz. Not a progressive darling. Unfortunately his works will fade into obscurity while nonsensical works like oil stained Christian statues will be given priority in modern progressive metropolitan areas.

That is her profession and that is what she studies. However, she does not understand art. Instead she understands Marxist ideology. Nothing else.

In her mind, you are either a sunny and happy progressive, or you are a cockroach that needs to be exterminated. Don’t believe me? Reread her email above.

In her mind, you are either a good little communist, or you are nothing. You become vermin that must be eradicated from the planet.

These people are dangerous.

I named the fellow here Rufus. Why? Because that was the name of the man that helped Jesus carry the cross up the side of the mountain. Rufus.

Rufus. red, the son of Simon the Cyrenian ( Mark 15:21), whom the Roman  soldiers compelled to carry the cross on which our Lord was  crucified. Probably it is the same person who is again mentioned in  Romans 16:13 as a disciple at Rome, whose mother also was a Christian  held in esteem by the apostle. Mark mentions him along with his brother  Alexander as persons well known to his readers.

-Bible Dictionary

Of course, in today’s hyper politically correct internet, you won’t find any of this information if you look up the name of Rufus. Instead you will find something like this…

Detailed, supposedly factual, but devoid of useful content. Rufus is the name of the man that helped Jesus carry the cross. The English forms that were present in 1909 has exactly zero relevance in 2019.

You need to know and understand just how serious the rewriting of history is being colored by the tyranny of California software mega-corporations.

Here, let’s watch a micro-video about another Rufus in China. You go man. Rufus, you are my hero.

Cool Flooring

In China, the technology is mature that permits large scale moving videos of anything placed anywhere. You can see it on the sides of buildings, on ceilings, on walls and on the floors. Here’s a really great application of one such LED display showing moving waves and beach sand on a KTV or restaurant floor.

Now, something terribly sad…

This happened in Shenzhen. It shocks me to my core.

Map of Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.
Here is the map of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Shenzhen has 14 million citizens, and Hong Kong only has 8 million people. To put that into perspective, New York city has 6 million people. There is a constant flow of people in and out of HK though SZ. As many people who live and work in Hong Kong, actually have homes and residences inside Shenzhen.

A mother is walking her son home through a market. High above them, in one of the skyscrapers, a window pops out of the wall, and falls at least 20 floors below. That’s a long… long… long… fall.

Crash!

One minute you are alive. The next minute you are dead.

One minute you are alive.

The next minute you are dead.

Do not take your life for granted. Enjoy every minute as if it is a full treasure. Cherish it. Enjoy it. Savor everything about your life.

Savor your life.
Do not take your life for granted. Enjoy every minute as if it is a full treasure. Cherish it. Enjoy it. Savor everything about your life.

Savor everything about your life.

Please don’t take things, and people for granted. They are special. When your dog wants to kiss you on the lips, give him a big hug and rub his tummy. When your kitty wants you to pick him up… come on do so. What’s the problem?

They just want some loving…from YOU.

Viking Kitty.
Viking kitty just wants to spend some time with you. What are you going to do? Watch CNN instead? Mow the lawn instead? Nah. People and creatures are important. They enrich our life. Treasure them.

Live life well…

Live. It. Well.

Well.

Life is too short not to enjoy some fine BBQ.
Life is too short not to enjoy some fine BBQ. Enjoy it with some friends. And don’t forget the icy cold beer to share with it. Life is far too short not to spend it with friends and loved ones.

Live life well. Live it like it is your last.

Live it like it will be your last.

Treasure the time now.

Smile at those loved ones around you.

Life is short. Live it well.
Life is short. Live it well.

Life is short. Often too short. Please, live it well.

Public Transport – Japan

Yeah. I guess the monorail is popular in Japan.

It seemed to me that I once saw a Simpson’s episode regarding the monorail. It depicted it as some kind of scam that investors used to fleece the tax-paying public with.

His evil plan.
His evil plan.
"Marge vs. the Monorail" is the twelfth episode in the fourth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.  It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January  14, 1993. The plot revolves around Springfield's impulse purchase of a  faulty monorail from a conman. The episode was written by Conan O'Brien and directed by Rich Moore. 

-Wikipedia

Anyways, in Japan they use monorails quite readily.

Pretty good rule of thumb: the best episodes usually show a flagrant  contempt for the town's citizens (a lot like South Park). In this case,  the use of a $3 million windfall a mass transit boondoggle rather than  much-needed street repairs. On the other hand, don't you wish town halls  can be settled so easily with Phil Hartman and a big musical number?  The jokes are hopelessly cynical (read: hysterical) and even Leonard  Nimoy gets in on the fun. The whole thing's a treat. 

Box Recognition Technology

Ah. I think it’s cool. I like this. I do not think that it is being used in the USA today though it is pretty commonly used all over China. I guess that the USA has some catching up to do.

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…

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.
