Here we continue on our pleasure of watching really odd videos of everyday life in China. I hope that you, the reader, are enjoying yourself as much as I am.
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.
Trick Glass in Chinese Parks
As I have mentioned previously, many of the parks in China are at the summit of enormous mountains. Well, many of the paths have glass-floored bridges. And, the Chinese, being the jokers that they are, often have little games and tricks that they like to provide people with.
Like, for instance, cracking floor glass…
Protection from Progressive Socialists
The Chinese well know what a fiasco the implementation of communism was under Mr. Mao. They will never forget the roving bands of SJW’s and the 30+ million people who died because of those lunatics. That’s one of the many reasons why they got rid of them back in the 1970’s.
As well as one of the reasons why they today have absolutely zero sympathy for SJW, radical Muslim fanatics, or LGBQ activists. They capture them, subject them to mental evaluation, treat them for mental conditions if appropriate, and then imprison them to keep the rest of society safe from their dangers.
Anyways, the Chinese haven’t forgotten the intensely long period of terror that was the SWJ norm in China. Today, in China, if you have the money, you make little pigeon holes or egress chambers to hide in and to protect your valuables. You can never be too safe.
Some are quite ingenious.
Chinese Automobiles
The Chinese automobile industry is staffed with high-performing engineers, and if there is some technology that another automotive company has, they hire the engineer to work for them at 4x their regular salary. The Chinese do not mess around, and they reward high performers and workers through merit.
You can see this in the latest crop of Chinese products marketed to the local Chinese…
Technology in High-Speed Rail
The Chinese love those enormous LED / LCD screens. You can see them on the sides of buildings everywhere. As well as on the sides of trucks, and in other places. You can have them on the floor so it looks like you are walking on water, or on the ceiling like there is a dragon flying above your head.
Here is one on a high-speed rail (bullet train) in China. It’s pretty common, though for people who have never seen this from outside of China, you would be amazed.
And, here is an application where the floor is touch sensitive LCD screen. It’s a nice effect and becoming quite popular in China.
I have however, no idea if anyone is implementing it in the USA.
Small Town Restaurant Advertisement
Like the USA, there are all kinds of “mom and pop” little “cubby hole” restaurants everywhere. Once they get the money, they try to advertise. You know, to get more business. This is true in China.
Here is a typical mini-commercial for a local family restaurant. It’s called the YuKee Restaurant. (The Yucky restaurant…LOL!)
Flying First Class
In China, like the United States, are different classes of travel on domestic airlines. The three classes are the same. There are coach, business and first class.
For reasons that will take about 35 posts to explain, the Chinese have more disposable income than Americans have. Thus, they can afford things that many Americans cannot.
You can see this manifest in different ways. One of which is in the proportion of class seating on commercial airlines. The societal stratification in the United States is very severe compared to China.
On airlines in America, most rich and wealthy people travel on their own private airlines. Successful people, not owning their own airplanes, would fly first class or business on commercial airlines. Thus, you would have a tiny section in the forward compartment of the airplane devoted to these higher paying customers.
In America, this might be a total of ten to twelve seats.
While in China, it might be a much higher percentage. Maybe the front 30% of the plane as opposed to the front 5% of the plane that you would experience in America. In fact, there are even entire planes where 100% of the customers fly first class or business.
Here is one example…
You will never see this in the Untied States simply because the gulf between the rich and middle class is so outrageously enormous.
That’s about it for this post. Let’s move on to the next group of videos in the next post, shall we…
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next past which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

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.
Learning About China
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. However, this series of posts should serve as a great starting place for investigation and enjoyment.
