alors j’ai ouvert un compte bancaire entièrement numérique. comme un enfant qui entre dans une confiserie, les nouveaux produits / services me fascinent. j’ai magasiné en utilisant une carte de débit tellement chic. par rapport à la santé de consommation, il reste à voir si la facilité de transactions sans papiers / numériques / instantanées va donner les dentes pourries.
sunny sky, warm and cosy feeling. if it were not for that baked good chain’s brand name exposing itself around the corner, this would have been a perfect picture to magnify, print and hang in the kitchen.
normalcy has not return, but will eventually someday.
february 2021. prc and usa are still in a de facto proxy (trade) war with my hometown still pretty much in the eye of the storm. a timely yet interesting documentary from three years ago helps shed some light on a tiny morceau of the multifaceted relationship between the two peoples.
maineland saw the camera followed two young, wealthy chinese students stella and harry spending their last two years of high school at fryeburg academy in maine. the tuition fees stand at usd 50k in 2021. why is such an exclusive school so depended on international students from china? half of the international students in 2017 were from china. and why a socialist economy can export so many “wealthy second generations” 富二代 in their foreign endeavors?
two years ago was the only rare occasion when i didn’t argue with my vietnamese friends that china wasn’t and doesn’t look anything “social” to me with not many nor not so few privileged citizens. and you have to ask why the most powerful country in the world keeps on exploiting the hard earn money of its arch rival.
if there is anything positive to report on, it is that stella and harry weren’t spoiled brats at all. i am not so sure about some of the other characters around them!
a must watch if you dig sino-american politics.

tout ensemble, ça sert à aroser notre monde d’espoir dans une ère de folie et de peste.
每到農曆新年，例必看看歲晚收爐及年初開市的題字。以往寫得最好看、最傳統的，往往是麻雀館或其它“撈偏門”行業。大概這些老闆願意花錢找年邁的書法師傅幫忙。今年我收集到的，有餐廳、零售和洗衣店。“請槍”與否不得而知，字體倒是工整。
