Hotels in Dalian China

Dalian Links for Feb 2: Frisbee, Furama, and the Civilized Touch

Furama Hotel Dalian joins World Hotels
The Furama has joined World Hotels as a new ‘Deluxe Collection affiliate’, whatever that means. I like the Furama a lot, and while I haven’t stayed in all the hotels in Dalian (not by a long shot), it seems to be among the best. A friend of mine who stays in the Shanggrila (which used to be widely believed to be the best) says that their service and quality is on the downslide.

Person of the Year move Dalian to tears
“Totally ten local people (or group) were granted the honor of the “Civilized Touch” Person of the Year 2009 in the coastal city of Dalian, January 14, 2010.” Forget the ‘Civilized Touch’, I want to see who won the ‘uncivilized touch’ award. That would be far more entertaining. Forget the ‘Civilized Touch’, I want to see who won the ‘uncivilized touch’ award. That would be far more entertaining.

Ultimate Frisbee in Dalian?
If the winter blues have got you down, check out this marginally less-bleak video of ultimate frisbee at Neusoft’s ‘Will-they-ever put-grass-on-me‘ Field.

Just because you are unique…
This reminded me of that graphic that was going around illustrating the difference between collective Asian culture and more individualistic Western culture.

    I propose not to hold off until you earn enough money to order different goods! You can get the mortgage loans or just small business loan and feel yourself comfortable

  • What a PSP Phone may look like March 13, 2010
    Some interesting images are emerging from a Chinese website M8cool.com. Apparently patience is not one of the virtues of the shanzhai (loosely meaning, imitation) industry, as they love to kick out early prototypes and images of not-yet-released gadgets. The latest one of these is the PSP Phone.  […]

  • Human-Powered Washing Machine March 13, 2010
    What do you get when you cross a treadmill with a washing machine? Give up? Something that looks a little like this, actually. A kid by the name of Zhang Jiayu from the northeastern Liaoning province thought that conventional washing machines wasted far too much electricity. He then had the bright idea of creating one that was powered by a man running on top […]

  • China Says Goodbye to Google With Cartoons March 13, 2010
    Since Google announced that they would no longer continue to censor in China, pretty much everybody has assumed that they won't be able to remain in the country. That may turn out to be the case. I'm not going to speculate too much on the issue, because there's way more than enough being said already. In the midst of all that headache, I do wa […]

  • China ice sculpture tragically made entirely from beer March 13, 2010
    The city of Harbin in northern China is widely known for it's freeze-your-snowballs-off temperatures and it's annual ice festival. Domestically, the city is also known for it's beer. Sadly, some wiseguy decided to combine the two to create a ginormous ice sculpture with nothing more than copious amounts of frozen beer. Such a waste... […]

  • China's xpPhone to be upgraded to Win7Phone? March 13, 2010
    The Chinese xpPhone was itself thought to be a rumor until engadget China reported on it last month. Sadly, it looks like this monstrosity does indeed exist. And what's more, it looks like it might soon be upgrading to Windows 7. Nevermind that the real Windows 7 Mobile won't be coming out until late next year. As usual, China has us covered with t […]

  • Best Chinese Knockoff Ever? Sony VAIC TT March 13, 2010
    There's something ingenius about taking an 'O' and making it a 'C.'  It's so subtle. So clever. It boggles the mind with possibilities: Orec cookies anyone? Maybe a little Cvaltine to wash it down?  Ok, maybe not. But that's generally the idea behind this 'Viac' 'Vaic,' a shanzhai version of the tiny Son […]
