Cat Cafe Inspiration

I hope that this puts a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.

I want to post some uplifting happy stuff.

I hope this post makes the grade.

It all began in 2004, when the first cat cafe opened its doors in Osaka. Since then, the petting zoo/coffee house hybrids have invaded Tokyo, and business is booming. After removing your shoes and washing your hands, you can relax or play with the cats and kittens while you have your drink. Prices are reasonable, and the rules are simple: no flash photos, no grabbing tails or waking sleeping kitties.

Life is too short not to spend it with friends, family and our furry little friends. There are numerous cat, dog, and bird themed coffee houses and tea houses in China. They are nice to visit, and to spend some time in.

This is one in Japan.

It’s a great way to enjoy yourself and to make friends with some of the creatures that roam the tea / coffee establishments.

I know that this is a short post, but I am in the start of a new affirmation campaign and a large number of affirmations are coming into reality, and that means all sorts of upset, stress and change. Don’t freak out. It’s normal!

Have a great day you all.

Remember! I believe in you!

Really Strange China (Part 8)

Here we continue with our exploration of China through some curious and amusing videos.

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.

Pets in China

Most Americans think that the Chinese eat pets. This is a falsehood propagated through ignorance and comedy. Yes, there are a few hillbillies who still eat dogs, and fewer still that eat cats. They cluster in the rural sections of the Guangzhou region. They have their own festivals and menus, and I am sure that you can find all sorts of things about this on Google.

You won’t however, find out about the much, much larger dog culture there. Google is just a voice for the oligarchy. They want to keep you ignorant and living in fear.

The reality is actually much more interesting and very, very strange. Many people treat their dogs like family members. They dies their hair, and have them wear clothing and sit at the table and eat with everyone. It’s pretty darn strange.

This video is not an uncommon scene…

Making Noodles

This is the traditional way of making noodles, and yes, you can see this in just about every city in China. It’s common place, though to a Westerner, it will seem strange and exotic.

Crowd Control

Actually you have to hand it to the Chinese. They do know how to handle crowd control.

Rocket launches

China has an active space exploration and utilization program. It operates unfettered by the political winds of the nation, unlike the United States. As such, they have a crewed space station that is occupied by the same number of people as Americans have on the ISS. They are also developing their moon base initiative, and they are proceeding forward with it via joint venture with the Russians.

When ever there is a rocket launch, which is fairly common, people gather from all over to watch the spectacle. It’s pretty impressive.

Duplex community pools

Yes, China has suburbs. There are all sorts of different kinds of housings and housing developments all over China. One of the latest trends is to have duplex complex communities with a shared pool arrangement.

Instead of a back yard behind a duplex or condo, the Chinese prefer to have low maintenance shrubbery and a communal pool. These pools tend to be long, like a waterway. You can enter them from your back door and take a swim any time you want.

As far as I know, this style of building or living arrangement is unique to China.

And here’s a different one. Like I said and alluded to, these are all over China. Most Americans will, unfortunately, never encounter one because they are usually never given the opportunity to visit a home of an Chinese coworker, colleague or businessman.

OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next post which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…
